House Bill No. 308 proposes the creation of a new criminal offense related to trespassing on or near school and day-care center properties. The bill introduces Section 30.055 to the Penal Code, defining key terms such as "day-care center," "public property," "school," and "school or day-care center property." It establishes that a person commits an offense if they enter or remain on school or day-care center property or public property within 250 feet of such locations without proper authorization, engage in disruptive or threatening behavior, or fail to leave when requested by authorized personnel.

The bill classifies this offense as a Class A misdemeanor and allows for prosecution under this section in conjunction with other applicable offenses. The new law is set to take effect on December 1, 2025.
