Summary

Simplifying the Ambiguous Law, Keeping Everyone Reliably Safe Act of 2010 or the STALKERS Act of 2010 - Amends the federal criminal code to revise the definition of the crime of stalking and extend criminal penalties for such crime to anyone who, with intent to kill, physically injure, harass, or intimidate a person, engages in any conduct in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States that: (1) causes or attempts to cause bodily injury or serious emotional distress; or (2) occurs in circumstances where the conduct would be reasonably expected to cause emotional distress. Increases penalties for such crime if: (1) the offense involves conduct in violation of a protection order; or (2) the victim of the offense is under the age of 18. Requires the annual report of the Attorney General to include an evaluation of efforts to enforce laws relating to stalking and to identify and describe elements of such efforts that constitute the best practices for the enforcement of such laws.
