Bill Summary · SB 1828

Legislative bill overview

SB 1828 appears to have been superseded by its companion bill CS/HB 1447, which was substituted on April 23, 2025, and subsequently passed into law (Chapter 2025-30). The bill dealt with trespass law in Florida, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the action history provided.

Why is this important

Trespass laws define property rights protections and establish when individuals can be prosecuted for unauthorized entry onto private or public land. Changes to these statutes can affect both property owners' ability to exclude people and individuals' exposure to criminal liability, with implications for homeowners, businesses, and law enforcement enforcement practices.

Potential points of contention

  • Property owner discretion vs. liability exposure: Whether property owners have clear guidelines on how to communicate no-trespassing boundaries and what legal consequences they can impose
  • Criminal vs. civil remedies: The balance between criminal prosecution and civil remedies for trespass violations, and whether criminalization is proportionate to the offense
  • Definition and scope: Whether the definition of "trespass" is sufficiently clear or broad enough to cover emerging scenarios (e.g., drone flights over property, digital trespass)
