SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Telecommunication devices; penalty. Broadens the definition of “telecommunication device” to include devices and software capable of receiving a variety of transmissions, including telephonic, electronic, Internet access, audio and video. The bill modifies the existing violation of selling or manufacturing unlawful telecommunication devices by adding the word "knowingly." Additionally, the bill provides that for the purposes of punishment, the unlawful activities of knowingly selling or manufacturing unlawful telecommunication devices are separate offenses for each device involved. The bill provides for both the forfeiture of unlawful telecommunication devices and the order of restitution. Finally, the bill provides civil relief for any party providing oil, electric, gas, water, telephone, telegraph, telecommunication or cable television service that is aggrieved by violation of certain sections.
