AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Utah's criminal trespass law currently recognizes three ways a property owner can give notice that entry is forbidden: direct personal communication, fencing or enclosures designed to keep people out, and posted signs or boundary markers. This bill adds a fourth form of valid notice — structures, fencing, or other physical barriers used to manage or control the movement of livestock. Under this change, someone who enters property where livestock fencing or handling structures are present can be charged with criminal trespass even without a posted sign or direct warning.
