Senate Bill 182 |
Senate Author: Wentworth |

Effective: Vetoed |
House Sponsor: Hilderbran |
Senate Bill 182 amends the Penal Code to clarify that the offense of criminal trespass includes entering or remaining in a recreational vehicle park. The bill defines "recreational vehicle park" for purposes of the law.
Reason Given for Veto: "House Bill 1092, House Bill 1129, Senate Bill 1097 and Senate Bill 182 all seek to amend the offense of criminal trespass by creating certain places that are subject to criminal trespass. Current statute covers the places identified in these bills, which renders this legislation redundant. If there are problems, the State of Texas should address criminal trespass issues in a comprehensive manner that makes the system consistent for enforcement and punishment."
