What changed between versions

Engrossed Enrolled · 5 edits · Aug 7, 2026
MODERATE
The bill was finalized as an Enrolled version, incorporating significant updates to the definition of domestic violence. These changes modernize the law by explicitly including electronic harassment, digital tracking, and the non-consensual sharing of private sexual images, while also clarifying rules regarding the concealment of children.
Scope change
The scope of the bill was expanded to cover digital and electronic forms of abuse that were not explicitly detailed in the previous version.
DEFINITION

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.
