Bill > HB934

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 525.080 to expand the definition of harassing communications, making it a more serious offense. Specifically, it now includes sending repeated electronic or phone messages in a way that is likely to bother, annoy, alarm, torment, embarrass, or offend someone, as long as there's no legitimate reason for the communication. It also covers posting material on social media or the internet that is reasonably likely to cause emotional distress, abuse, or torment to another person, again, without a legitimate purpose. Furthermore, the bill elevates the penalty for harassing communications from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class A misdemeanor, meaning it carries a potentially more severe punishment.
