Revises provisions relating to crimes. (BDR 15-908)
SB 371 extends the period during which a trespass warning remains valid from 24 to 36 months. This means property owners or occupants can legally prohibit entry for three years after issuing a warning, instead of two years. The bill does not change the types of trespassing that are illegal or the methods for giving warnings (like signs, fences, or paint markers), only the duration of the warning's effect. It directly affects property owners seeking to enforce trespass restrictions and individuals who have received prior warnings. The change applies to all land or buildings under Nevada's existing trespass law (NRS 207.200).

MINOR
This bill updates Nevada's trespassing laws by extending the time period for a trespass warning from 24 months to 36 months. It also standardizes the formatting of the statute and removes previous section numbers that were deleted during the amendment process.
Scope change
The bill applies to all persons entering land or buildings in Nevada after receiving a warning, but the duration of the warning required to constitute a crime has increased.
REQUIREMENT
Extended the required warning period for trespassing from 24 months to 36 months, meaning property owners must wait longer before a trespasser can be criminally charged for ignoring a warning.
TECHNICAL
Removed obsolete section numbers (Sections 1-4) and updated the document header to reflect the final enrolled version of the bill.
