Amends criminal trespass laws to clarify definitions and posting requirements for secured premises.
The bill amends New Hampshire's criminal trespass laws by updating the definition of "secured premises" to include private property posted in compliance with RSA 635:4 or fenced to exclude intruders. It specifies that signs prohibiting trespass must be made of durable material, with block letters at least 2 inches high, and must clearly state that the property is private and access is restricted. The bill also mandates that signs be posted not more than 100 yards apart and at gates or entrances. It allows for consideration of compliance factors in disputes over adequate posting.
