The bill introduces a new section, 810.091, to the Florida Statutes, which addresses trespassing at large-scale ticketed events. It defines a "covered event" as any ticketed event with an attendance exceeding 5,000 persons, and outlines the duration of such events from when the venue opens to the public until it is secured after the event concludes. The bill also defines "person authorized" and "restricted area," clarifying who has the authority to manage access during these events.
Under the new law, individuals who willfully enter or remain in a restricted area without authorization during a covered event commit a third-degree felony. If a person is warned to leave by an authorized individual and refuses, they also face the same penalty. However, for individuals under 18 years of age, the violation is classified as a second-degree misdemeanor. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
