Use of purple paint in lieu of signage prohibiting trespassing authorized.

HF 1303 allows landowners and authorized managers (like public land managers) in Minnesota to use purple paint on trees instead of traditional "no trespassing" signs to prohibit outdoor recreation on their property. The bill amends Minnesota law to require that paint be applied at least three feet high, in an eight-inch strip on trees one inch or wider, along property perimeters. Landowners must still post physical signs at primary corners of the property, as required by current law, but the purple paint serves as a valid alternative to signage for perimeter marking. This change directly affects private landowners and public land managers who currently use signage to restrict access. The bill does not change penalties for trespassing or alter the requirement for signs at property corners.
