This bill amends the offense of stalking.

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah's stalking law currently treats stalking as a second degree felony — the most serious tier — when a stalker uses a dangerous weapon or force likely to cause death or serious injury. This bill adds a new way to reach that elevated charge: if a stalker unlawfully enters the victim's home (called a "dwelling" in the law) as part of the stalking conduct, the offense is also charged as a second degree felony. The bill also formally defines "dwelling" by referencing the existing definition used in Utah's burglary statutes.
