Bill Summary

Amends KRS 529.110 to allow notice of trespass to be given through the placement of identifying purple paint marks on property.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law (KRS 511.070) to allow property owners to provide notice of trespass by placing identifying purple paint marks on trees or posts on their property, rather than solely relying on fencing or other enclosure. The bill specifies the size, placement, and visibility requirements for these purple paint marks to serve as valid notice against trespass. The penalty for criminal trespass in the second degree remains a Class B misdemeanor, except when the trespass occurs during a declared emergency within the impacted area, in which case it becomes a Class A misdemeanor. The bill was signed into law by the Governor on April 17, 2024.
