The bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance criminal penalties for trespassing on properties maintained or secured by law enforcement, as well as for unauthorized entry into certain venues during ticketed events. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that classifies trespassing on law enforcement-secured areas as a third-degree felony if proper notice is posted. The required notice must clearly indicate that the area is restricted and that trespassing constitutes a felony.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws regarding interference with sporting or entertainment events by prohibiting individuals from willfully entering or remaining in venues during ticketed events with an attendance exceeding 5,000 without authorization. Violations of this provision are classified as third-degree felonies, while other related offenses remain misdemeanors. The bill aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding trespassing and unauthorized access to ensure the safety and security of public events and law enforcement properties.
