Maintains existing stalking penalties: county jail for not more than one year, a fine up to $1,000, or both, or state prison imprisonment.

Retains enhanced penalties for violations with active court orders (2-4 years state prison) and for repeat offenders with prior convictions under related statutes (2-5 years state prison).

Clarifies definitions of "harass," "course of conduct," "credible threat," and "electronic communication device" to update language and include digital communications.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required to local agencies or school districts under Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
