Clarifies that harassment made anonymously or otherwise through electronic communication devices constitutes a petty disorderly offense.

This bill amends New Jersey's harassment statute (N.J.S.2C:33-4) to explicitly include electronic communications as a form of harassment. It clarifies that sending threatening or harassing messages anonymously or via electronic devices (such as phones, computers, emails, or social media) constitutes a petty disorderly persons offense. The law defines "electronic communication device" broadly to cover phones, computers, text messages, and similar digital tools. This change directly affects individuals who use digital platforms to harass others, making such conduct punishable under the same penalty as traditional harassment. The bill does not increase penalties but ensures existing harassment laws apply to online behavior.
