Establishes new definitions distinguishing "credible threat" (requiring reasonable perception of intent and ability to carry out harm) from "threat" (statement that causes fear or harm and is communicated to another person)

Mandates restitution upon conviction for terrorist threats, capped at $10,000, covering costs to property owners, schools, churches, government entities, law enforcement, and emergency responders

Requires students found guilty of terrorist threats to complete court-ordered psychiatric or psychological evaluation at parental expense before readmission to public schools
