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 another person's location or movement with the intent to facilitate an unlawful act. The bill defines an "electronic tracking device" as a device specifically designed for tracking a person's location through electronic signals, and a "tracking application" as software used to surreptitiously track and transmit the location of a computer or mobile device. The crime is punishable by up to 18 months in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.

The bill outlines several lawful uses of tracking devices and applications, including tracking a minor child by a parent or guardian, monitoring individuals at risk due to health conditions, tracking personal property during lawful transactions, and collecting consumer location data with proper disclosure. It also specifies that consent for tracking must be obtained in writing or through affirmative acceptance of the application, and that consent is presumed revoked under certain circumstances, such as during divorce proceedings or when a restraining order is filed. Additionally, the bill exempts state and local government entities from its provisions regarding tracking activities.
