Bill > S115

This bill establishes new criminal penalties for unauthorized access to Department of Defense (DoD) facilities, creating a graduated set of increasingly severe punishments for repeat offenders. Specifically, the legislation makes it unlawful for any person to enter DoD property that is clearly marked as closed or restricted without proper authorization. For a first-time offense, individuals could face up to 180 days in prison and/or fines, while a second offense increases the potential imprisonment to 3 years. A third or subsequent offense would carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. The bill adds these provisions as a new section (§ 1390) to Chapter 67 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which deals with criminal offenses related to government property. By implementing these escalating penalties, the GATE CRASHERS Act aims to deter unauthorized entry into sensitive military facilities and provide law enforcement with clear legal mechanisms to prosecute such trespassing incidents.
