Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Part 1 of Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relative to criminal trespass and damage to property, so as to provide that entrance upon property of another without consent shall be an offense of criminal trespass; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's criminal trespass law to provide that entering the property of another without consent is an offense of criminal trespass. The bill revises the current law, which only prohibits certain actions like intentionally damaging property, knowingly interfering with possession or use of property, and remaining on property after receiving notice to depart. The new provision expands the law to cover any unauthorized entry onto another person's land, premises, vehicle, or other property, regardless of the person's purpose or any prior notice. The bill also repeals any conflicting laws.
