The Short Version

This bill creates a formal process for municipal and school authorities to issue no trespass orders on public property, with procedural protections including written notice, a right to a hearing within 10 days, and appeal to superior court. It balances rapid response to safety threats (emergency orders up to 45 days) against due process safeguards and transparency requirements.
