An act relating to course of conduct in stalking cases

Summary

The bill rewrites the definition of “course of conduct” in Vermont’s stalking statutes, letting two or more acts that happen within a short time—even on the same calendar day—be treated as stalking. It expands what behaviors count, including electronic or geolocation surveillance, and clarifies that a threat does not have to be overt. The change applies to both criminal prosecutions and civil protection orders.
