Upon the occurrence of an event that may consume significant public resources, poses a threat to public or private property, and poses a threat to the health and welfare of the public, the Governor may declare any location within the state to be a public safety zone and issue an order authorizing any action provided for under § 34-48A-5, 34-48A-6, 34-48A-32, 34-48A-34, 34-48A-36, 34-48A-41, 34-48A-46, 34-48A-47, 34-48A-48, 34-48A-49, 34-48A-51, or 34-48-53, without declaring an emergency or disaster, within the public safety zone and within one mile thereof.
Section 2. That § 34-48A-5 be amended to read:

However, nothing in this subdivision may be construed to authorize the taking of firearms, as defined in subdivision 22-1-2(16), without the consent of the owner;
(5) May control the ingress and egress in a designated disaster, public safety zone, or emergency area, the movement of vehicles upon highways within the area, the movement of persons within the area, and the occupancy of premises within the area;
(6) May procure, acquire, store, distribute, and dispense any pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies located within the state as may be reasonable and necessary to

(9) May provide for the protection, construction or reconstruction, repair, and maintenance of public or private transportation facilities.
The powers granted to the Governor under this section shall remain in effect for a period of six months and may be restored for one or more successive six-month periods by declaration of the Governor that the conditions permitting such powers persist.
Section 3. That § 22-35-6 be amended to read:
22-35-6. Any person who, knowing that he or she is not privileged to do so, enters or remains in any place where notice against trespass is given by:

If the trespasser defies a posted order not to enter a public safety zone established under chapter 34-48A, the trespasser is guilty of aggravated criminal trespass, which is a Class 1
misdemeanor. The trespasser shall be sentenced to county jail for a period of not less than ten days and none of the sentence may be suspended.
Section 4. That chapter 22-35 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:

Section 6. That chapter 22-35 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
In any criminal case for aggravated criminal trespass brought pursuant to the § 22-35-6, whether brought by information or indictment, a separate supporting information shall allege, in addition to the principal offense charged, any former conviction within two years of the date the newly alleged offense occurred. If the information is in two separate parts, each part shall be signed by the prosecutor. If the underlying charge is brought by indictment the part two information shall be signed by the prosecutor. In the first part the particular offense with which the accused is charged shall be set out, and in the other part any former conviction shall be alleged.

Upon the request of the Governor, the commissioner of school and public lands may prohibit any group larger than twenty persons from congregating upon any tract of land under the supervision of the commissioner of school and public lands, if the prohibition is necessary to preserve the undisturbed use of the land by the lessee or if the land may be damaged by the activity.

If such a rule is promulgated, the highway shall be signed to indicate where such stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited. The secretary of transportation may establish a temporary no parking zone, not to exceed ninety days, if the secretary of public safety and the secretary of transportation, after consultation with the director of the highway patrol, agree that a no parking zone is necessary for the protection of life and property.
