Relating to creating the criminal offense of trespass on or near school or day-care center property.

SB 1602 would create a new criminal offense for trespassing on or near school or day-care center property in Texas. It prohibits entering or remaining on school property or within 500 feet of it if a person poses a substantial risk of harm, disrupts the learning environment, or repeatedly behaves inappropriately for a school setting - after being asked to leave by school staff. Violating this law would be a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail. The bill directly affects individuals who enter school grounds under these specific conditions, including protesters, loiterers, or others who ignore staff requests to depart.
