Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires the Department of Corrections to track a person using a
global positioning system tracking device if the person committed certain child sex
offenses or if the person is on supervised release after having been committed for
treatment as a sexually violent person. Under current law, a person who tampers
with, or blocks, diffuses, or prevents the clear reception of a signal from, such a GPS
device is guilty of a Class I felony. Under this bill, a person who is subject to such GPS
tracking is guilty of a Class I felony if he or she intentionally fails to charge the GPS
device.
