[PURPOSE.] The acts of terrorism that struck the 1.33 United States of America on September 11, 2001, cannot be 1.34 tolerated in a civilized society. While federal statutes deal 1.35 with terrorist acts, we need Minnesota state laws to complement 1.36 federal laws and to ensure that terrorists who commit atrocities 2.1 in our state are brought to justice and receive maximum 2.2 punishment to match their dastardly crimes. Minnesota must send 2.3 a message to those who would commit terrorist acts which kill, 2.4 maim, and seriously injury our citizens, that our law 2.5 enforcement officials have the tools to investigate and 2.6 apprehend terrorists and that our laws will allow a punishment 2.7 that fits the seriousness of their crimes. Equally important is 2.8 that Minnesota's laws are enforced fairly and protect the 2.9 freedoms of all ethnic, religious, and racial groups. This 2.10 legislation is intended to deter and punish terrorist acts in 2.11 Minnesota and to enhance law enforcement's ability to train and 2.12 prepare for, as well as to investigate and respond to, acts of 2.13 terrorism, thereby providing public safety for all Minnesotans. 2.14 Sec. 2.
