Trespass.

Existing law provides that a person commits a trespass, which is punishable as a misdemeanor, when he or she willfully refuses or fails to leave land, real property, or structures belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another person and not open to the general public, after being requested to leave by a peace officer acting at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, and after being informed by the peace officer that he or she was so acting, or after being requested to leave by the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession. Existing law permits, for the purposes of this provision, a single request to be made for a peace officer's assistance for a period of 6 months or less when the premises or property is closed to the public and posted as being closed. This bill would instead permit that single request to be made for a period not to exceed 12 months. This bill would incorporate changes to Section 602 of the Penal Code proposed by both this bill and SB 1295, which would become operative only if both bills are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2015, and this bill is chaptered last.
