Kansas would have a stronger anti-stalking law under a compromise proposal approved by the House.
The 125-0 sends the proposal to the Senate. If it passes there, it goes to the governor's desk.
The bill was in response to last year's slaying of 19-year old Jodi Sanderholm, of Arkansas City.
Prosecutors allege that 24-year old Justin Thurber stalked young women for years before Sanderholm's death. He is charged with capital murder in her slaying, and the state plans to seek the death penalty. His trial is scheduled to begin June 24.
Victims' rights groups and law enforcement officials argue that the current law is difficult to enforce.
