AB 161

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for any person who has been convicted of a crime committed upon a particular private property, to willfully enter upon, or refuse to leave the private property, as specified, after having been informed by a peace officer at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, and upon being informed by the peace officer that he or she is acting at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, that the property is not open to the particular person. Existing law provides that where the person has been convicted of a violent felony, as specified, this provision shall apply without limitation and where the person has been convicted of any other felony, this provision shall apply for no more than 5 years from the date of conviction. Existing law provides that where the person has been convicted of a misdemeanor, this provision shall apply for no more than 2 years and where the person was convicted for an infraction, as specified, this provision shall apply for no more than one year from the date of conviction. This bill would additionally subject persons who have had a petition sustained in a juvenile adjudication for a crime committed upon the particular property to the above-referenced provisions. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
