ND SB2144

Establishes a noncriminal offense for trespassing on posted property or fenced land, with a $250 fine per violation that can be cited by peace officers instead of criminal prosecution.

Allows individuals to post land as closed to hunting through an online database or electronic application maintained by the state, in addition to traditional physical signage requirements.

Requires the name of the person posting property to appear on each sign in legible characters and be visible in electronic postings for notice against trespass to be valid.

Permits peace officers to issue citations with mail-in bond procedures for trespass violations on posted or fenced property, prohibiting custody or detention for these noncriminal offenses.

Maintains criminal penalties for dwelling trespass (Class C felony), building trespass (Class A misdemeanor), and remaining on property after being asked to leave (Class B misdemeanor for first offense, Class A for repeat offenses within two years).
