Bio-terrorism Law

Bio-terrorism law encompasses legal measures and regulations aimed at preventing and responding to the intentional release of harmful biological agents, such as viruses or bacteria, by individuals or groups for malicious purposes. These laws address the criminalization of such acts, outline penalties, and establish protocols for public health and safety response. They aim to protect national security and public health from threats that could arise, intentionally, from biological attacks, integrating elements from both public safety frameworks and terrorism laws to enhance preparedness and response strategies.
