A bill for an act establishing a criminal offense for written or electronic threats to kill, cause bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, and providing penalties.

HB 651 makes it a serious felony to send, post, or transmit written or electronic threats online to kill, cause bodily harm, or carry out a mass shooting or terrorism. It directly affects anyone who posts such threats on digital platforms (like social media or messaging apps), with penalties including up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $13,660. The bill explicitly excludes phone calls from its definition of "electronic record" and protects internet service providers from liability for user content. It aims to criminalize threatening digital communications while clarifying that platforms hosting such content are not held responsible.
