AI Summary
This bill amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to expand the definition of stalking by including the use of an "electronic tracking system," which is defined as a device that can emit a signal to determine the location of a person or object. Specifically, a person commits stalking if they use such a system or acquire tracking information to find out someone's location, movements, or travel patterns without that person's consent, and they know or should know that this action would make a reasonable person fear for their safety or the safety of another. This addition aims to address modern methods of surveillance and harassment.
