SS/SCS/SB 903 - The act modifies and creates new provisions relating to telecommunications infrastructure. The act modifies the definition of "critical infrastructure facility". The act repeals certain provisions relating to committing the offense of trespass on a critical infrastructure facility. (Section 569.086) DAMAGE ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES (Sections 569.117) A person commits the offense of damage of a critical infrastructure facility, as defined in the act, if he or she: (1) Purposely damages, destroys, or tampers with equipment in a critical infrastructure facility, or (2) Recklessly damages, destroys or tampers with a critical infrastructure facility, or removes any component of a critical infrastructure facility, excluding equipment. Subject to the exceptions described in the act, the offense of damage of a critical infrastructure facility is subject to certain penalties described in the act. If the damage to a critical infrastructure facility causes interruption, impairment, or degradation of service, the offense shall be a class C felony regardless of value. The value of damages under the act shall be determined pursuant to current law, as described in the act. Any person who violates these provisions shall be required to make restitution and perform community service, as specified in the act. UNAUTHORIZED POSSESSION OF CERTAIN MATERIALS USED IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE (Section 569.119) A person commits the offense of unauthorized possession of certain metals used in telecommunications infrastructure if the person: (1) Knowingly possesses copper, brass, aluminum, fiber, or telecommunications material; and (2) Is not a person authorized to possess such material. Certain persons are authorized to possess copper, brass, aluminum, fiber, or telecommunications material, as specified in the act. Such authorization does not apply to a person who knows that such materials were unlawfully obtained. Classifications of the offense are described in the act. If conduct constituting an offense under these provisions also constitutes an offense under any other provision of law, the person may be prosecuted under either or both provisions subject to certain provisions of current law. The act has provisions identical to the provisions in CCS/SS/SB 1421 (2026), and similar to HB 2383 (2026). JULIA SHEVELEVA
