What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Federal Accountability for Felony Obstruction Act" or the "FAFO Act," proposes changes to title 18 of the United States Code. It seeks to amend the definition of domestic terrorism to include property damage. Specifically, it aims to include acts that are violations of criminal laws and are likely to cause significant damage to property. The bill also targets acts that obstruct or impede law enforcement officers, first responders, or people seeking medical attention.
