TERRORIST CONTROL ACT – Amends existing law to provide for the crime of domestic terrorism.

This Idaho bill (H 285) defines "domestic terrorism" as violent acts or threats intended to harm people or property, intimidate others, or influence government policy within Idaho. It creates new felony charges for committing such acts, with penalties ranging from up to 10 years in prison for some offenses to life imprisonment for others. The law specifically targets individuals who engage in training, planning, or carrying out violent acts that disrupt lawful activities or threaten public safety. It directly affects anyone in Idaho who commits acts meeting this definition, including those using weapons of mass destruction or targeting government policy through violence. The bill also adds provisions for punishing those who provide material support to domestic terrorists.
