Bill > HB143

This bill establishes new procedures for issuing no trespass orders on municipal or school district property by requiring that such orders can only be issued after a unanimous vote by the governing body during a properly noticed public meeting. The bill provides important protections for individuals by mandating that the person subject to the potential no trespass order has the right to a hearing with the governing body, which can be conducted in either a public or non-public session at the individual's discretion. Additionally, the person has the right to appeal the governing body's decision to approve a no trespass order by taking the matter to superior court. The only exception to the unanimous vote requirement is when a court has already issued a restraining order preventing the person from entering the public property, in which case the governing body's approval is not necessary. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving local governments time to understand and implement the new procedures.
