CRIME: Provides relative to the unlawful entry of a critical infrastructure (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)
HB 507 amends the state's criminal code to clarify which specific subsections of the unlawful entry of critical infrastructure statute apply to cases. The bill changes the referenced legal sections from a range of subsections to only subsections (B)(1), (C), and (D). This adjustment directly affects law enforcement and prosecutors by narrowing the scope of the law they must enforce. The change ensures that only these specific categories of unlawful entry are prosecuted under this particular provision.
