New rules increase penalties for attacks on facilities offering pregnancy support and places of religious worship. This means harsher legal consequences for individuals who commit acts of violence or vandalism against these locations, aiming to enhance their safety.
Key points
Increased imprisonment to up to 3 years for a first offense if the attack involved a pregnancy resource center or place of worship and was not solely a nonviolent obstruction.
Increased civil penalties to $20,000 per violation for conduct involving pregnancy resource centers or places of worship.
Introduction of a minimum 7-year imprisonment for destruction of buildings, vehicles, or property if it involves a pregnancy resource center or place of worship.
