The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6511, seeks to amend current statutes to prohibit the use of electronic tracking devices to monitor individuals without their consent. This legislation aims to protect personal privacy by making it unlawful to track another person without their permission.
However, the bill also introduces specific lawful exceptions to this prohibition. These exceptions include scenarios where a parent tracks a minor child, certain commercial uses, and instances where an employer tracks an employee. The intent of the bill is to balance the need for privacy with the practical applications of tracking devices in specific contexts.
