Crimes and offenses; stalking in the second degree, penalties revised

Summary

The bill upgrades the penalty for a second or later conviction of second‑degree stalking from a misdemeanor to a Class C felony. It targets anyone who repeatedly follows, harasses, or contacts a person, that person’s immediate family, or an acquaintance after being told to stop. The change is meant to deter repeat stalkers by imposing harsher punishment.
