"The CREEP Act would give survivors a clear and immediate path to protection, without forcing them to wait for the system to catch up or for the situation to escalate."
"I am a co-sponsor of this important piece of proposed legislation. I am very optimistic that it is going to become law."
New York advocates are promoting the CREEP Behavior Act, which would enable civil courts to issue anti-stalking orders. Currently, such orders are limited to criminal and family courts. The bill aims to provide immediate protection for stalking victims, allowing them to request temporary orders in Civil Supreme Court. The legislation follows the model of 43 other states and seeks to address the growing issue of online harassment. The bill has passed the Senate but is pending in the Assembly's Judiciary Committee.
