| Long Title: | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HARASSMENT AND STALKING. |
| Synopsis: | This Bill enhances the harassment and stalking statutes of the Delaware Code to better protect Delaware citizens. Several other states’ stalking statutes were the model for these changes. Changes were made to the number of incidents required in order to be charged with stalking as well as the penalty level associated with stalking. Because of the changes to the stalking statute, several changes were also made to harassment and aggravated harassment. Harassment is redesignated as a class A misdemeanor and minor changes to the elements of harassment were made. Aggravated harassment is also incorporated into the new stalking and harassment sections.
