What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, it is a Class H felony to trespass on the property of an energy

provider or to cause damage to the property of an energy provider if the actor

intended to or caused an interruption or impairment of services provided by the

energy provider. Under this bill, the definition of “energy provider” is expanded to

include a company that operates a gas, oil, petroleum, refined petroleum product,

renewable fuel, or chemical generation, storage transportation, or delivery system.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report.
