(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, an owner of an ammonium nitrate facility that in good
faith refuses to sell or transfer ammonium nitrate to any
person, or that in good faith discloses to the Department or to
appropriate law enforcement authorities an actual or attempted
purchase or transfer of ammonium nitrate, based upon a
reasonable belief that the person seeking purchase or transfer
of ammonium nitrate may use the ammonium nitrate to create an
explosive device to be employed in an act of terrorism (as
defined in section 3077 of title 18, United States Code), or to
use ammonium nitrate for any other unlawful purpose, shall not
be liable in any civil action relating to that refusal to sell
ammonium nitrate or that disclosure.
(b) Reasonable Belief.--A reasonable belief that a person
may use ammonium nitrate to create an explosive device to be
employed in an act of terrorism under subsection (a) may not
solely be based on the race, sex, national origin, creed,
religion, status as a veteran, or status as a member of the
Armed Forces of the United States of that person.
