The bill would prohibit a not-for-profit corporation from knowingly providing, attempting to provide, or conspiring to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization designated by the U.S. Secretary of State, when doing so violates federal law. The definition of support includes money, services, property, and other resources, but excludes medicine and religious materials. The state attorney general could seek a civil penalty of at least $1 million from the corporation or its trustees, directors, managers, officers, or agents. A person harmed by a violation could seek an injunction and actual damages, and a court could award attorney fees. The bill would also allow charitable corporations to be dissolved for violations and would take effect immediately.
Not-for-profit corporations and their leaders could face legal action if they knowingly provide prohibited support. A person harmed by a violation could bring a civil case. The bill sets a 10-year deadline for these actions.
