2007 Senate Bill 540 ↩

Senate Roll Call 235: Passed

To revise the definition of trespassing so as to prohibit a person from entering or remaining on another person's farm property without permission or lawful authority (as opposed to "willfully" doing so), and specifying that the owner need not request the person to leave for it to be a violation. It would not be violation if a person is in the process of attempting by the most direct route to contact the owner or his agent to request consent. The bill would also increase the maximum fine for trespassing from $50 to $250.
