AB367,1,2
1An Act to create 943.142 of the statutes;
relating to: trespass on school
2premises and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Generally under current trespass law, subject to a number of exceptions, a
person who enters the land of another, without permission, is subject to a Class B
forfeiture. If a person intentionally enters the dwelling of another without consent
under circumstances tending to create or provoke a breach of the peace, he or she is
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. If a person intentionally enters a medical facility
without consent under circumstances tending to create or provoke a breach of the
peace, he or she is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
Under this bill a person who intentionally goes onto school premises without
the consent of a school district official, employee, or agent lawfully on the school
premises under circumstances tending to create or provoke a breach of the peace is
guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB367, s. 1
