AB200,1,1
1An Act to create 943.13 (4m) (c) of the statutes;
relating to: trespass to land.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits trespassing. Generally, a person is guilty of trespassing
if he or she does any of the following: 1) enters or remains on any land of another after
having been notified (by "no trespassing" signs or otherwise) not to enter or remain
on the land; or 2) enters enclosed, cultivated or undeveloped land of another, or any
land of another that is occupied by a structure used for agricultural purposes,
without the express or implied consent of the owner or occupant, except that, with
respect to certain undeveloped private land, a person is guilty of trespassing only if
he or she enters or remains on such land after having been notified (by "no
trespassing" signs or otherwise) not to enter or remain on the land. In addition, the
prohibition against trespassing does not apply to a person entering the land of
another to hunt or remove a nuisance wild animal.
This bill provides that the prohibition against trespassing does not apply to a
public officer or public employe who enters land for the purpose of performing his or
her official duties or functions.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
