Bill overview
The Stop Electronic Stalking Act aims to strengthen penalties for stalking by specifically criminalizing the use of unauthorized geotracking devices. This legislation expands the definition of stalking to include instances where a person uses a device to track another's location without their consent. It clarifies that a geotracking device is any electronic or mechanical tool that remotely determines a person's position, and ‘unauthorized’ means the tracked individual did not agree to the tracking or withdraw their consent. The bill seeks to provide greater legal recourse for victims of electronic stalking.
