Bill > H1447

This bill modifies Florida's trespass and event interference laws by creating two new criminal offenses. First, the bill enhances penalties for trespassing on property maintained or secured by federal, state, or local law enforcement officers, making such trespass a third-degree felony if the area is legally posted with specific signage stating it is a "DESIGNATED RESTRICTED SITE SECURED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT." Second, the bill adds a new provision to event interference laws that makes it a third-degree felony to willfully enter or remain in a venue during a ticketed event with over 5,000 attendees without being authorized, licensed, or invited. This means individuals who enter such events without proper permission could face more serious criminal charges, potentially including imprisonment and significant fines. The bill aims to provide additional protections for law enforcement properties and large public events by creating stricter legal consequences for unauthorized entry.
