HR 6035 United States House · 118th Congress

Stop Electronic Stalking Act

HR 6035, the Stop Electronic Stalking Act, expands federal stalking laws to specifically address the use of unauthorized location-tracking devices. It directly affects individuals who use electronic or mechanical devices to track another person's movements without their consent. The bill amends Title 18, U.S. Code, to add "uses an unauthorized geotracking device" to the definition of stalking, defining "geotracking device" as any tool that remotely monitors location and "unauthorized" as lacking consent or revoked permission. This makes it a federal crime to secretly track someone's location through such devices, strengthening legal protections against electronic stalking.
