Enhances penalties for threats against certain public servants, establishes crime of doxxing, and enhances penalties for improper use of personal identifying information.
S 4687 increases penalties for threatening judicial officers, prosecutors, and their immediate family members, making it a first-degree crime if threats occur within 500 feet of their home. It establishes "doxxing" as a new crime defined as knowingly disclosing personal information with intent to cause fear, violence, or stalking, punishable as a fourth-degree crime (third-degree if it results in serious harm). The bill automatically applies for permanent restraining orders following convictions for these threats and enhances penalties for improper use of personal identifying information to harass public servants or their families. These provisions aim to better protect public servants and their families from threats and harassment.
