Modifies the offense of tampering with electronic monitoring equipment

HB 130 makes intentionally removing, altering, damaging, or disabling electronic monitoring equipment (like ankle bracelets) a criminal offense. It classifies this as a class D felony for most tampering, a class E felony for failing to charge/disable the device (unless the original offense was a misdemeanor, then it's a class A misdemeanor). The law specifically excludes owners or their agents performing routine maintenance or repairs. This bill directly affects individuals under court-ordered electronic monitoring, such as probationers or parolees, by imposing new criminal penalties for interfering with their monitoring devices.
