This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding offenses against public order. It introduces new definitions and classifications for "civil terrorism" and "subversion," both of which are classified as class 5 felonies. Civil terrorism is defined as committing unlawful acts with the intent to coerce or intimidate a civilian population, while subversion involves unlawful acts aimed at advancing the interests of a terrorist organization or undermining government authority. The bill also clarifies that the term "terrorism" does not include civil terrorism and modifies the existing definition of terrorism to remove certain elements related to influencing state policy and causing public disruption.

Additionally, the bill amends the penalties for disorderly conduct, specifying that if such conduct is committed by a group of three or more individuals, it escalates the offense to a class 5 felony for certain types of disorderly conduct. It also establishes that obstructing a highway or public thoroughfare by a group of three or more is classified as a class 6 felony. The bill will take effect on December 31, 2026, if passed.
