Unpredictable Criminal Liability for Business Speech

This provision criminalizes speech causing "loss of funding" or "loss of human capital including strikes" (subsection 3), making routine business communications—such as reporting on government contracts, labor disputes, or policy impacts—potential criminal offenses. The "reasonable belief in falsity" standard means businesses face criminal penalties even when acting in good faith, while the vague definitions of "public harm" and "fear" make it impossible to predict what statements will trigger liability. Combined with 76's personal criminal liability for executives who fail to prevent employee speech, this creates an impossible compliance situation that deters legitimate business reporting and corporate communications.
