Action for civil trespass; GPS; private road or driveway. Provides that a person operating a motor vehicle is liable for trespass if such person enters a private road or driveway along which the owner of such private road or driveway has posted signs that may be reasonably seen that such road is a private driveway. The bill also provides that when such defendant relied upon a global positioning system (GPS) and such reliance resulted in the trespass, any corporation, company, or other entity responsible for the mapping function of the GPS may be added as a party to such action. The bill allows such corporation, company, or entity to provide in writing in advance of any proceeding in the action that such private road or driveway has been removed from the GPS and requires the court, upon receiving such evidence, to dismiss the action against such corporation, company, or entity.
