Voted Do Pass S Agriculture, Food Production and Outdoor Resources Committee
Summary
The bill lets a property owner or hired contractor step onto an adjoining parcel no more than ten feet from the boundary to build, fix, or maintain a fence that encloses livestock or other animals. It removes trespass penalties for that limited entry but makes the worker responsible for any damage caused, such as to crops. The rule does not apply to utility, railroad, zoo, wildlife‑conservation, or animal‑sanctuary properties, and it never permits entering a neighbor’s building.
