Bill > HB4136

This bill establishes a new crime called "unlawful entry in or on a residential structure in which a vulnerable adult resides," which occurs when someone knowingly enters or remains in a home where a vulnerable adult lives without permission, and the owner or caregiver reports the incident. This offense is classified as a Class 4 felony, but it becomes a more serious Class 3 felony if the unlawful entry involves a sexual offense, defined as committing certain sex-related crimes or crimes with a finding of sexual motivation during the unlawful entry. The bill also includes "vagrant" as a type of person who can commit this offense and clarifies that a "vulnerable adult" has the same meaning as in existing law. Additionally, this bill amends an existing law to require individuals convicted of this new unlawful entry offense involving a sexual offense to register as sex offenders.
