Modifies the damages owed for throwing down or opening doors, bars, gates or fences and leaving them open or down

Summary

The bill would require anyone who throws down, opens, or removes a door, gate, bar, or fence that isn’t on their own land to pay a $500 base fine plus twice the actual damages caused. It also adds a six‑month written notice requirement for owners of adjoining cultivated fields and excludes certain fences built across streams used for lumber or railroad materials.
