Trespass: events.

Existing law makes it unlawful for persons to engage in certain acts of trespass and punishes most trespasses by a fine not exceeding $1,000, imprisonment in a county jail for a period not exceeding 6 months, or by both that fine and imprisonment. This bill would make it a trespass toknowingly enter an annual event that is televised live and not open to the general public without authorization from the person lawfully in possession of the property, if the area has been posted so as to give reasonable notice restricting access, as specified. This bill would make a violation of these provisions punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding 6 months, or by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or both, or as an infraction, for a first offense, and by that jail sentence or a fine of $2,000, or both, for a 2nd or subsequent offense. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would incorporate amendments to Section 19.8 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1675 and AB 1829, contingent on the prior enactment of those bills. This bill would incorporate amendments to Section 602 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 668 and AB 2324, contingent on the prior enactment of those bills. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
