GATE CRASHERS Act

This legislative proposal aims to create new criminal penalties for individuals who unlawfully access Department of Defense facilities. Specifically, it would be illegal to enter any property under DoD jurisdiction that is clearly marked as closed or restricted, without proper authorization. Violators would face escalating penalties depending on the number of offenses. A first offense could result in a fine, up to 180 days imprisonment, or both. Subsequent offenses carry more severe consequences, with a second offense punishable by up to 3 years imprisonment and a third or subsequent offense by up to 10 years imprisonment, in addition to potential fines.
