AI Summary
This bill elevates cyber-harassment of a public servant or their family member to a third-degree crime, which is a more serious offense than the current fourth-degree classification. It also establishes an Office of Cyber-Harassment Support within the Department of Law and Public Safety (DLPS), which will be overseen by the Attorney General to promote education, provide assistance to victims, and develop initiatives to prevent cyber-harassment, particularly targeting public servants and their families. The bill appropriates funds for the implementation of these measures and requires the Attorney General to adopt necessary rules and regulations.
