     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1142 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL TRESPASS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to assist the Department of Transportation in protecting against people remaining on improved Department of Transportation land when it is closed or otherwise restricted and on or under state highways by adding the offense of criminal trespass onto Department of Transportation lands to the Penal Code.
