HR 1751 United States House · 119th Congress

Stop Electronic Stalking Act of 2025

HR 1751, the Stop Electronic Stalking Act of 2025, amends federal stalking law to explicitly include unauthorized use of geotracking devices. It adds "uses an unauthorized geotracking device" to the definition of stalking under Title 18, U.S. Code, and defines two key terms: a "geotracking device" as any tool that remotely tracks a person's location, and "unauthorized" as use without the person's consent or after consent was revoked. This bill directly affects individuals who use such devices to track others without permission, making this specific conduct a federal stalking offense. The law does not create new penalties but expands existing stalking provisions to cover digital location tracking. It focuses on clarifying the legal definition of stalking related to modern technology.
