The proposed bill, known as the "No Trespass Orders on Public Property Act," establishes a structured process for issuing, extending, and appealing no trespass orders (NTOs) specifically for municipal and school properties. It allows governing bodies or their designated representatives to issue emergency NTOs when immediate action is necessary to protect public safety or prevent disruption. These emergency orders must be documented in writing, specifying the property involved, the reason for the order, and a temporary expiration date of no more than 72 hours unless extended by a governing body vote. If the governing body wishes to continue the NTO beyond the emergency period, it must do so with a 3/5 vote at a public meeting, and the order can last up to 90 days.

The bill also includes procedural safeguards for individuals affected by NTOs, ensuring they have the right to a hearing and the ability to appeal decisions to the superior court. Individuals can request a hearing within 10 days of the NTO issuance, and the governing body must hold the hearing within 15 days. If the hearing does not occur in this timeframe, the NTO is automatically vacated. The governing body must provide a written decision post-hearing, which can either rescind, modify, or continue the NTO for a defined period. Additionally, all NTOs must expire after 90 days unless a court order is obtained for an extension. The bill's effective date is set for 60 days after passage, and it is projected to have a minimal fiscal impact of less than $10,000 annually from 2026 to 2029.
