Crimes and offenses; harassment and harassing communications, further provided

Summary

The bill amends Alabama’s harassment and harassing‑communication statutes so that when the victim is a public official, the offense is a Class B misdemeanor instead of a Class C. Existing definitions of harassment and harassing communications remain unchanged, but the penalty is increased for attacks on elected or appointed officials. The change is intended to give stronger legal protection to public officials.
