relative to criminal trespass on secured premises.

HB 1139 clarifies the legal definition of "secured premises" for criminal trespass laws in New Hampshire. It requires property owners to post clear, durable signs (with owner name/address, 2-inch block letters) every 100 yards and at entrances to establish a "secured premises," making unauthorized entry a trespass offense. The bill also mandates signs be visible from public roads and clearly state "private property" restrictions, while requiring landowners to provide reasonable alternative access for public recreational areas like trails. This directly affects property owners (especially rural landowners and those with hunting/trail access) and law enforcement handling trespass cases.
