| Public Act 098-0748 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by changing | ||||
Section 21-5 as follows:
| ||||
(720 ILCS 5/21-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 21-5)
| ||||
Sec. 21-5. Criminal
Trespass to State Supported Land.
| ||||
(a) A person commits criminal trespass to State supported | ||||
land when he or she enters upon land supported in whole or in | ||||
part with State
funds, or federal funds administered or granted | ||||
through State agencies or
any building on the land, after | ||||
receiving, prior to the
entry, notice from the State or its | ||||
representative that the entry is
forbidden, or remains upon the | ||||
land or in the building after receiving
notice from the State | ||||
or its representative to depart, and who thereby
interferes | ||||
with another person's lawful use or enjoyment of the building
| ||||
or land.
| ||||
A person has received notice from the State within the | ||||
meaning of
this subsection if he or she has been notified | ||||
personally, either orally or in
writing, or if a printed or | ||||
written notice forbidding entry to him or her or
a group of | ||||
which he or she is a part, has been conspicuously posted or | ||||
exhibited
at the main entrance to the land or the forbidden | ||||
part thereof. | ||
(a-5) A person commits criminal trespass to State supported | ||
land when he or she enters upon a right of way, including | ||
facilities and improvements thereon, owned, leased, or | ||
otherwise used by a public body or district organized under the | ||
Metropolitan Transit Authority Act, the Local Mass Transit | ||
District Act, or the Regional Transportation Authority Act, | ||
after receiving, prior to the entry, notice from the public | ||
body or district, or its representative, that the entry is | ||
forbidden, or the person remains upon the right of way after | ||
receiving notice from the public body or district, or its | ||
representative, to depart, and in either of these instances | ||
intends to compromise public safety by causing a delay in | ||
transit service lasting more than 15 minutes or destroying | ||
property. | ||
A person has received notice from the public body or | ||
district within the meaning of this subsection if he or she has | ||
been notified personally, either orally or in writing, or if a | ||
printed or written notice forbidding entry to him or her has | ||
been conspicuously posted or exhibited at any point of entrance | ||
to the right of way or the forbidden part of the right of way. | ||
As used in this subsection (a-5), "right of way" has the | ||
meaning ascribed to it in Section 18c-7502 of the Illinois | ||
Vehicle Code. | ||
(b) A person commits criminal trespass to State supported | ||
land when he or she enters upon land supported in whole or in | ||
part with State
funds, or federal funds administered or granted | ||
through State agencies or
any building on the land by | ||
presenting false documents or falsely representing his or her | ||
identity orally to the State or its representative in order to | ||
obtain permission from the State or its representative to enter | ||
the building or land; or remains upon the land or in the | ||
building by presenting false documents or falsely representing | ||
his or her identity orally to the State or its representative | ||
in order to remain upon the land or in the building, and who | ||
thereby
interferes with another person's lawful use or | ||
enjoyment of the building
or land. | ||
This subsection does not apply to a peace officer or other | ||
official of a unit of government who enters upon land supported | ||
in whole or in part with State
funds, or federal funds | ||
administered or granted through State agencies or
any building | ||
on the land in the performance of his or her official duties.
| ||
(c) Sentence. Criminal trespass to State supported land is | ||
a Class A misdemeanor, except a violation of subsection (a-5) | ||
of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor for a first violation | ||
and a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation. | ||
