A bill signed into law by Democratic Kansas Gov. Laura
Kelly will make it a misdemeanor to trespass near oil and gas pipelines. The
legislation also makes it a misdemeanor to trespass near oil and gas, rubber
manufacturing and wastewater treatment facilities and a felony to trespass with
the intent to obstruct railroad tracks. Proponents say damaging those facilities
could harm Kansans. Some House Democrats, including two Native American
legislators, said the bill targets Native American protestors like those who
opposed the Dakota Access oil pipeline.
