According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "criminal trespass at a campground and providing a penalty. (FE)".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends statutes to criminalize unauthorized entry or remaining at a campground without the operator's consent, establishing a misdemeanor offense for such actions. It allows campground operators to request individuals leave the premises. Anyone who fails to depart upon this request can be fined up to $100, face up to 30 days in county jail, or both. Additionally, a law enforcement officer is mandated to arrest individuals if there is probable cause they violated this statute. The bill also specifies that landlord-tenant laws do not apply to campground occupants or guests. The effective date or any specific implementation details are not provided in the bill text.
The bill was co-authored by Senator André Jacque (Republican-1st District), Representative Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District), Representative Chanz J. Green (Republican-74th District), Representative Paul Melotik (Republican-22nd District), and Representative William Penterman (Republican-38th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District).

Dallman, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 39th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Mark Born.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
