New Cyberbullying Bill Moves Forward At Colorado Capitol
DENVER (CBS4) - A bill that would create new criminal penalties for cyberbulling in Colorado is moving forward at the state Capitol.
The measure would make cyberbullying a misdemeanor harassment charge punishable by as much as $750 in fines and up to six months in jail.
A similar bill was shot down last year after worries of infringing on free speech.
