DOMESTIC VIOLENCE-HARASSMENT
What changed between versions
The definition of 'Abuse' was updated to replace vague descriptions of contacting or following a victim with specific examples of electronic contact, digital tracking, and surveillance.
New subsections were added to explicitly prohibit the non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images and the publishing of a victim's personally identifiable information.
The definition of 'Interference with personal liberty' was rewritten to provide a clearer explanation of compelling someone to act against their will.
A new definition for 'Intimidation of a dependent' was added to protect vulnerable individuals based on age, health, or disability.
The exception for removing or concealing a child was clarified to apply only when the respondent is fleeing an incident or pattern of violence.
