MINOR
The bill was amended to strengthen the definition of unlawful surveillance in the first degree by requiring that the perpetrator have knowledge of the victim's active order of protection. This change ensures that the severe felony charge applies only when the surveillance is intentional and aware of the protective order, rather than being based solely on the existence of the order.
Scope change
The scope of the crime was narrowed to require specific intent and knowledge of the protective order, preventing automatic felony charges in cases where the perpetrator was unaware of the order.
REQUIREMENT
Added a requirement that the surveillance must be committed with knowledge of the active order of protection against the person being surveilled.
