AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO STALKING.
This Act expands the definition of a “course of conduct” in the stalking statute and also provides that if the court finds as a matter of law that acts subject to this statute are in fact constitutionally protected activities, then all evidence associated with those activities must be excluded.
This Act raises stalking under § 1312(c) from a class F to a class D felony. And also raises stalking under § 1312 (b) from a class G to a class E felony.
This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
