AB 1097: Trespass.
What AB 1097 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to amend the penal code to strengthen trespass laws. It would make entering Indian lands with a sign forbidding trespass a misdemeanor, similar to existing laws on private property. Additionally, it would clarify that entering Indian lands to injure property or interfere with a lawful business is also a misdemeanor. The bill would also create new offenses for reentering private property or Indian lands after being requested to leave, and for failing to leave after being ordered to do so by a tribal police officer. The bill would allow tribes to enter into agreements with law enforcement agencies to enforce these orders.
