 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 15, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. MANKTELOW, ANGELINO, DeSTEFANO, GALLAHAN, HAWLEY,
 MILLER, PALMESANO, SAYEGH, SMULLEN -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Codes

 AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to posting private property

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 140.00 of the penal law, as
 2 amended by chapter 698 of the laws of 1979, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 5. "Enter or remain unlawfully." (a) A person "enters or remains
 5 unlawfully" in or upon premises when [he] such person is not licensed or
 6 privileged to do so. A person who, regardless of [his] such person's
 7 intent, enters or remains in or upon premises which are at the time open
 8 to the public does so with license and privilege unless [he] such person
 9 defies a lawful order not to enter or remain, personally communicated to
 10 [him] them by the owner of such premises or other authorized person. A
 11 license or privilege to enter or remain in a building which is only
 12 partly open to the public is not a license or privilege to enter or
 13 remain in that part of the building which is not open to the public. A
 14 person who enters or remains upon unimproved and apparently unused land,
 15 which is neither fenced nor otherwise enclosed in a manner designed to
 16 exclude intruders, does so with license and privilege unless notice
 17 against trespass is personally communicated to [him] such person by the
 18 owner of such land or other authorized person, or unless such notice is
 19 given by posting in a conspicuous manner. A person who enters or remains
 20 in or about a school building without written permission from someone
 21 authorized to issue such permission or without a legitimate reason which
 22 includes a relationship involving custody of or responsibility for a
 23 pupil or student enrolled in the school or without legitimate business
 24 or a purpose relating to the operation of the school does so without
 25 license and privilege.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 A. 2165 2

 1 (b) An owner or lessee of any real property may post such property by
 2 placing identifying purple marks on trees or posts around the area to be
 3 posted. Each purple mark shall be: (i) a vertical line of at least eight
 4 inches in length and the bottom of the mark shall be no less than three
 5 feet nor more than five feet high. Such marks shall be placed no more
 6 than one hundred feet apart and shall be readily visible to any person
 7 approaching the property; or (ii) a post capped or otherwise marked on
 8 at least its top two inches. The bottom of the cap or mark shall be not
 9 less than three feet but not more than five feet six inches high. Posts
 10 so marked shall be placed not more than thirty-six feet apart and shall
 11 be readily visible to any person approaching the property. Prior to
 12 applying a cap or mark which is visible from both sides of a fence
 13 shared by different property owners or lessees, all such owners or
 14 lessees shall concur in the decision to post their own property. Nothing
 15 in this subdivision shall be construed to authorize the owner or lessee
 16 of any real property to place any purple marks on any tree or post or to
 17 install any post or fence if doing so would violate any applicable law,
 18 rule, ordinance, order, covenant, bylaw, declaration, regulation,
