HB 398 Stalking; penalty for second conviction.

Introduced by: Robert J. Wittman | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Subsequent offenses of stalking; penalty.  Provides that a second stalking conviction occurring within two years shall be a Class 6 felony rather than a Class 1 misdemeanor. Currently, there is no such increased penalty. This would complement the existing increased penalty (from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony) that results from a third or subsequent conviction within five years.
