Creates the offense of trespass by an illegal alien

HB 540 would create a new criminal offense for individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States and commit a violation of state or local law (such as a minor traffic infraction or misdemeanor). The new offense would be classified as a felony - class E for minor violations (like infractions) and class C for more serious violations (misdemeanors or felonies) - with penalties added to the original violation's punishment. It would not apply to individuals with federal authorization to remain in the U.S. The bill directly affects undocumented immigrants who face state-level legal consequences for minor or serious offenses.
