Stop Electronic Stalking Act of 2025
United States119th CongressHR-1751House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 27, 2025
Summary
This bill seeks to expand federal stalking laws to specifically address the use of unauthorized geotracking devices. It amends Section 2261A of title 18, United States Code, by adding the use of such devices to the existing definition of stalking offenses. The legislation defines a geotracking device as any electronic or mechanical tool capable of remotely determining or tracking a person's position and movement. Crucially, the term unauthorized specifies that the device is being used without the consent of the individual being tracked, or if previous consent has been revoked. This aims to provide legal recourse against individuals who covertly monitor others' locations.
