Summary

Researchers and Farmers Freedom From Terrorism Act of 2000 - Amends the Federal criminal code to: (1) remove the requirement that physical disruption to the functioning of an animal enterprise must be intentional in order to be criminal; (2) increase the possible term of imprisonment for such disruption from one to five years; and (3) make it unlawful for anyone to maliciously damage or destroy by means of fire or explosives any building, vehicle, or property used by an animal enterprise. Requires the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to establish and maintain a national clearinghouse for information on incidents of crime and terrorism committed against or directed at: (1) any animal enterprise; (2) any commercial activity because of a perceived impact of such activity on the environment; or (3) any person because of such person's connection with or support of such an enterprise or activity.
