S 9596 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Enacts the ceasing repeated and extremely egregious predatory (CREEP) behavior act

This bill creates a new legal mechanism called "anti-stalking orders" to provide specific protections for individuals who feel they are being stalked. It allows victims to file a sworn application in their local supreme court to request these orders, which can be issued quickly as temporary measures before a full hearing takes place. The orders can require the accused person to stop all contact, delete related digital content, refrain from monitoring the victim's location or devices, and stay away from specified places like homes or workplaces. By adding these provisions to the civil practice law, the bill aims to offer a streamlined and targeted response to stalking behavior that involves repeated acts of harassment or intimidation.
