Bill overview
This bill clarifies the definition of trespassing on property at West Virginia institutions of higher education. It specifically defines ‘residence hall’ and ‘student facility,’ and outlines who is authorized to have access to these areas. The bill states that anyone not authorized to be present can be asked to leave, and failing to comply is a misdemeanor offense with escalating fines for repeat violations. It also ensures the bill doesn't conflict with existing trespassing laws.
