Electronic stalking in the second degree applies when the communication facilitates another crime, involves disseminating information about minors under 18, targets public servants, or involves identity assumption.

Electronic stalking in the first degree applies when the electronic communication facilitates the commission or attempted commission of a Class A, B, or C felony that actually occurs.

Adds electronic stalking offenses to the list of designated offenses for which eavesdropping warrants may be granted under criminal procedure law.

Requires conviction of electronic stalking under sections 120.61, 120.62, or 120.63 to result in sex offender registration unless the trial court determines registration would be unduly harsh and inappropriate.
