Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME; CREATING THE CRIME OF UNLAWFUL INSTALLATION OF A GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM.
AI Summary
This bill creates a new crime called "unlawful installation of a global positioning system," which occurs when someone knowingly places a GPS device to track another person's location without their knowledge or consent. A global positioning system, or GPS, is defined as any device that can transmit location data to track a person, vehicle, or property. This new offense is classified as a petty misdemeanor, meaning it's a less serious crime. However, the bill includes exemptions for certified law enforcement officers performing their official duties and for licensed private investigators operating under the Private Investigations Act.
