The main purpose of the Schools Want Accountability for Threats Act, also known as the SWAT Act, is to strengthen penalties for making threats against schools. This legislation aims to enhance safety in educational environments by ensuring that those who communicate threats face serious consequences. Key provisions of the Act include new penalties for individuals who threaten or provide false information about schools. Specifically, anyone who makes a threat against a public, private, or religious school can be imprisoned for up to 20 years or fined.
