Summary
Makes it criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor, for a person who does not have a contractual interest in the real property of another person that contains an agricultural operation to: (1) knowingly or intentionally enter the real property without the consent of the other person or the other person's agent or refuse to leave the real property after having been asked to leave by the other person or the other person's agent; and (2) knowingly or intentionally commit an act on the real property that causes the other person, a person who owns or operates a business or another enterprise on the real property, or a person who owns personal property located on the real property to suffer a pecuniary loss. Makes the offense a Level 6 felony if the pecuniary loss is at least $2,500.
