AI Summary
- Amends Idaho Code sections 18-7008, 18-7011, and 36-1603 to standardize trespass posting requirements across criminal and hunting trespass statutes
- Establishes four acceptable methods for posting private property to constitute legal notice of trespass: "No Trespassing" signs, minimum 100 square inches of fluorescent/blaze orange paint (or 18 inches on metal fence posts), other notices of like meaning spaced at intervals of one per 660 feet, or conspicuous signs at public road entry/exit points describing the private property area
- Provides exception for properties where geographical configuration limits entry to certain access points—posting at those points alone is sufficient notice
- Defines "enters," "entry," and "entering" as going upon or over real property in person or by causing any object, substance, or force to go upon or over real property
- Maintains existing misdemeanor penalties for criminal trespass (up to 6 months jail and/or $25-$1,000 fine) and hunting trespass violations
