This bill establishes that it is a fourth-degree crime to knowingly install or place, or cause the installation or placement of, an electronic tracking device or tracking application to track or determine the location of another person with the intent to initiate or facilitate an unlawful act. The bill defines "electronic tracking device" and "tracking application," and it includes a permissive inference that such tracking is intended for unlawful purposes, such as stalking or harassment. The penalties for a fourth-degree crime can include up to 18 months of imprisonment and fines up to $10,000.

The bill outlines specific lawful uses of tracking devices and applications, which include tracking by parents or guardians of minor children, monitoring individuals at risk due to health conditions, tracking personal property during lawful transactions, and collecting consumer location data with proper disclosure. It also allows employers to track employees or vehicles used in the course of employment, provided they comply with existing laws. Additionally, consent for tracking must be obtained in writing or through affirmative acceptance, and consent is presumed revoked under certain circumstances, such as during divorce proceedings or when restraining orders are filed. The bill exempts state and local government entities from its provisions.
