AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

Summary

HB 521 revises Kentucky’s stalking statutes by defining a "course of conduct" that includes multiple acts, use of electronic devices, and social‑media activity. Stalking is classified as a Class D felony, but it becomes a Class C felony when a deadly weapon is used or the victim faces reasonable fear of sexual contact, physical injury, or death. The bill also updates the Safe at Home program definitions and imposes a $30 administrative fee on defendants convicted of stalking or certain sex crimes.
