The bill establishes a new criminal offense under Section 708.7A for making written or electronic threats to kill, cause bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism. It prohibits individuals from sending, posting, or transmitting any writing or electronic record that contains such threats, which can be viewed by others. Violators of this law will be charged with a class C felony, which carries a potential punishment of up to 10 years of confinement and fines ranging from $1,370 to $13,660.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts certain service providers from liability. Specifically, it states that the transmission, storage, or caching of electronic communications by providers of interactive computer services, telecommunications services, or information services will not result in liability for those providers if their services were used by a person violating this section. This aims to protect service providers from legal repercussions related to the misuse of their platforms for making threats.
