SB128, proposed by Senator Kevin Meyer, would criminalize harassment of a minor through electronic communication a class B, second-degree misdemeanor.
In his supporting statement, Senator Meyer states that although current legislation allow “some forms of bullying to be handled within the school system,” other types of bullying occur outside of the classroom. With social networking becoming more prevalent in our lives, this law will allow the authorities to better address the problems of increasing cases of cyberbullying.
