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.
