Bill > HB110

This bill amends the stalking law in Maryland to increase the penalties for certain stalking offenses. Specifically, the bill creates a felony offense for stalking if the person had a protective order against them, had a previous stalking conviction, or had a previous conviction for a similar crime in another state. The penalties for this felony offense are up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. The bill also clarifies that the stalking law applies to conduct that places a person in reasonable fear of various threats, including serious bodily injury, assault, sexual offenses, false imprisonment, or death, or that causes serious emotional distress.
