The bill removes a specific provision related to threatening behavior in workplaces from the definition of criminal trespass in the second degree.

  • KRS 511.070

    In a workplace, while engaging in threatening behavior, as to which notice against trespass is given verbally or in writing by the applicable employer, an employee with the employer's authorization, or an authorized agent of the employer.

    This change simplifies the definition of criminal trespass in the second degree by eliminating the reference to threatening behavior in workplaces.
