Establishes and modifies criminal offenses involving certain infrastructures

HB 2383 creates new criminal offenses targeting trespass and damage to critical infrastructure facilities, such as power plants, water treatment centers, telecom networks, pipelines, and dams. It establishes a misdemeanor charge for unauthorized entry and elevates damage to a felony, with penalties increasing based on the cost of damage or service disruption. The bill also prohibits unauthorized possession of copper, fiber-optic, or telecom materials (like cables or wires) without proper authorization, making it a felony for most individuals. These provisions directly affect trespassers, vandals, and unauthorized scrap handlers, while exempting authorized entities like utility companies and licensed recyclers. The law focuses on protecting essential infrastructure from intentional harm or theft of materials.
