Establishes the offenses of harassment of a school or recreation athletic official and entry or remaining on site of a school or recreation athletic contest after being forbidden

Summary

The bill adds two offenses to Missouri law: one for verbally or non‑verbally harassing a school or recreation athletic official during a contest, and another for entering or staying on a contest site after being told not to. Penalties include up to a $500 fine, up to 90 days in jail for harassment (plus mandatory community service and counseling), and up to six months in jail for the trespass offense. It aims to protect referees, coaches, and other officials from abuse and to keep unauthorized persons off athletic venues.
