Stalking Amendments

Summary

The bill revises Utah’s stalking statute by adding new definitions, including “dwelling,” and increasing penalties when a stalker unlawfully enters a victim’s home or uses a dangerous weapon. It also clarifies what counts as emotional distress and outlines exemptions for law‑enforcement and certain business activities. The changes are intended to give victims stronger protection and make serious stalking conduct punishable as a higher‑level felony.
