Bill > SB1737

This bill authorizes a civil cause of action for individuals or organizations that suffer business interruption or economic injury as a result of certain criminal conduct, such as online stalking. It allows the victims to seek actual damages, injunctive relief, and punitive damages. The bill establishes that civil liability can be proven by clear and convincing evidence, without requiring the defendant to be charged or prosecuted criminally first. The actual damages that can be recovered include funds spent on counseling, increased security measures, libel, or losses related to the business interruption or economic injury. The bill also specifies that the wrongful conduct is deemed to have occurred at the location where it originated or where it was directed, and that the remedies provided are cumulative. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2024.
