To clarify what constitutes trespassing at an institution of higher education

HB 2958 clarifies trespassing rules for West Virginia college campuses by defining "residence halls" (student housing) and "student facilities" (campus venues serving alcohol to students). It states that entering these areas without authorization is trespassing - even if no disruption occurs - and allows campus staff to immediately ask unauthorized individuals to leave. Repeat offenses carry escalating fines: $100 for first, $250-$500 for second, and up to $1,000 or 30 days in jail for third offenses. This directly affects students, visitors, campus security, and enforcement personnel at public colleges and universities.
