designate any property or area of property that qualifies under
this article as a critical infrastructure zone. The governor and
director shall identify each property designated as a critical
infrastructure zone by using a legal description of the

restrictive designation necessary to ensure the security of the
critical infrastructure to be protected. The director, in
consultation with the governor, may remove a designation of a
critical infrastructure zone from any property. Not later than
July 1, 2025 and each July 1 thereafter, the director, in
consultation with the governor, shall review the designations
made under this subsection to determine whether designations
should be removed or amended. Any property designated as a
critical infrastructure zone under this subsection shall remain
designated until removed in accordance with this subsection or
by order of a court.

within a critical infrastructure zone or located up to five (5)
miles from a critical infrastructure zone and, upon reasonable
suspicion, investigate the conveyance to determine if the
conveyance involves a designated country or person or if the
conveyance poses a threat to national or state security or to
critical infrastructure.

criminal investigation may take any action authorized by law to
