Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill HB 400 involve the addition of specific behaviors that would be considered offenses against care-dependent individuals. These include engaging in conduct that has no legitimate purpose, using inappropriate language, communicating at inconvenient times, and sharing demeaning images online. This change is significant because it broadens the protective measures for vulnerable individuals, making it clearer what constitutes harassment and establishing penalties for such actions.
