SB1051 is a proposed bill that aims to make it illegal for a person to knowingly disable or coerce a minor into disabling a location tracking application or function on the minor's electronic communication device during the commission or attempted commission of offenses related to kidnapping, sexual offenses, or sexual exploitation of a minor. The bill would classify such a violation as a class 2 felony, which carries a presumptive sentence of 5 years for first-time offenders and a fine of up to $150,000. The term "electronic communication device" is defined as any electronic device capable of transmitting visual depictions, including computers, cellular phones, and wireless telephones. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
