Rescue tracking equipment, such as public devices that let someone signal for help and allow law enforcement to locate them in an emergency, would be protected under a new criminal offense created by this bill. If passed, it would become a class B misdemeanor to destroy such equipment, to damage, disable, remove, or tamper with it in a way that interferes with its proper use, or to interact with it knowing that doing so will trigger a false emergency report to law enforcement. The bill defines "rescue tracking equipment" as property in a public place designed to notify law enforcement and help track a person's location so they can receive emergency assistance.
