AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change federal prison sentences for people convicted of providing material support to terrorists or to designated foreign terrorist organizations. For providing material support to terrorists, the current maximum of 15 years in prison would be replaced with a minimum of 20 years or life in prison. For providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations, the current maximum of 20 years would be replaced with a minimum of 20 years or life in prison. In cases where these laws already allow a life sentence, such as when a death results, the bill would also allow the death penalty.
