AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of "threat" within the intimidation statute to include posting someone's personal information, such as their name, address, or phone number, on a social media platform with the intent to cause them bodily harm, property damage, or the commission of a crime against them. It also increases the penalty for intimidation if it is directed at a member of the general assembly, and it prohibits the release of personally identifying information of railroad crew members in public reports about railroad fatalities, while still allowing access for specific parties like the railroad company or law enforcement. Additionally, the bill creates a new crime called "remote aerial harassment" for certain uses of drones, such as operating them in a way intended to harass someone or over their property without consent in a manner that interferes with or endangers other aircraft.
