AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to add a new offense of "unauthorized location tracking." This new offense prohibits the use of technological devices to track or monitor the location or movement of another person or their property without their prior authorization, with some exceptions, such as for law enforcement investigations or parental tracking of minors. The bill also further defines the existing offense of "stalking" to include a course of conduct or repeated communications that demonstrate an intent to place the victim in reasonable fear of bodily injury or to cause substantial emotional distress. Violations of the new "unauthorized location tracking" offense would be graded as a misdemeanor of the third degree.
