Tampering with an Electronic Monitoring Device

Added the phrase 'affirmatively act to' to the definition of circumventing an electronic monitoring device to clarify intentional interference.

Added a new subsection creating a felony of the third degree penalty specifically for persons under 18 years of age who violate the statute.

Modified the pretrial release revocation language to allow courts to set new bond conditions after revocation, rather than simply terminating release.

Clarified that penalty severity depends on the underlying charges of the person who must wear or use the monitoring device, not just the person committing the tampering.

Penalty structure changed from a single third-degree felony to a graduated system with penalties ranging from third-degree to life felonies based on the underlying offense severity

Clarified that pretrial release must be terminated for anyone who tampers with monitoring equipment, regardless of the specific offense level

Effective date set to October 1, 2025
