Nebraska LB443 creates the offense of unlawful squatting and sets a penalty for it.
Nebraska LB443 amends the state's criminal code to establish the offense of unlawful squatting. This occurs when a person enters and resides on another's land or premises with the intent to claim ownership or appropriate the property without the owner's knowledge or consent. Law enforcement officers can issue a warning citation if they have probable cause, such as signs of abandonment or the presence of nonpermanent structures. Failure to provide proper documentation or appear in court results in arrest and a Class I misdemeanor conviction.
