AN ACT CONCERNING PURPLE PROPERTY BORDERS AS WARNING TO TRESPASSERS.

HB 6851 amends Connecticut law to explicitly include painting property borders purple as a valid method for marking property as "posted" to warn trespassers. This change directly affects property owners who use purple borders to legally indicate restricted access and trespassers entering such marked areas. The bill adds purple borders to the list of acceptable posting methods under criminal trespass law, alongside traditional signs or fencing. The law takes effect October 1, 2025, making purple borders a legally recognized warning system.
