Establishes penalties for harassment and assault of athletes under certain circumstances.
This bill creates new criminal penalties for harassment targeting athletes during sanctioned sports events. It makes it a fourth-degree crime to harass an athlete when the harassment relates to gambling outcomes (both legal and illegal), and a third-degree crime if the victim is a student athlete. Offenders convicted of these harassment offenses face a lifetime ban from all online and in-person sports betting, with the ban applying upon a second conviction or if the harassment was part of a related assault. The law directly affects athletes participating in interscholastic, collegiate, or professional sports events and individuals who harass them in connection with gambling.
