Bill Summary

Unlawful encroachment. Authorizes a law enforcement officer to order a person to stop approaching the law enforcement officer if the officer reasonably believes that the person's presence within 25 feet of the officer will interfere with the performance of the officer's duties. Provides that a person who knowingly or intentionally approaches within 25 feet of a law enforcement officer after being ordered to stop approaching commits unlawful encroachment on a law enforcement officer, a Class C misdemeanor.

AI Summary

This bill creates a new law that allows law enforcement officers to order individuals to stop approaching them if the officer reasonably believes that a person within 25 feet will interfere with their duties. Specifically, if a law enforcement officer is lawfully performing their duties and feels that someone's proximity could disrupt their work, they can command that person to halt their approach. If an individual knowingly continues to approach within 25 feet after being ordered to stop, they will have committed "unlawful encroachment on a law enforcement officer," which is classified as a Class C misdemeanor. A Class C misdemeanor is a less serious criminal offense, typically punishable by a relatively small fine and/or a short jail term. The law is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and is intended to provide law enforcement with an additional tool to maintain safety and prevent potential interference with their official duties.
