The Stop Electronic Stalking Act of 2025 makes it a federal crime to stalk someone using an unauthorized geotracking device, such as a GPS tracker or similar electronic device placed on a person without their knowledge or consent. The bill amends existing federal stalking laws to explicitly include this technology-based form of harassment alongside other stalking methods. The legislation defines a geotracking device as any electronic or mechanical device that allows someone to remotely track another person's location and movement, and clarifies that the device must be used without the target's consent or after they've revoked permission for it to be tracked. The bill affects anyone who engages in this form of digital stalking and aims to close a gap in federal criminal law by specifically addressing how stalkers increasingly use modern technology to monitor and harass their victims. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is included in the bill text provided.
