Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 5148, the penalty for harassment was changed from a class C felony to a class B felony. This adjustment means that those found guilty of harassment could face harsher legal consequences than before. It matters because it signals a stronger stance against harassment, potentially deterring such behavior and providing greater protection for victims.
