Old event bans near worship repealed

The law removes old rules that treated certain events near worship as a disturbance. Showing a show or play without a license within one mile, and animal racing or gaming within that distance, no longer fall under the disturbance law.

New rules and penalties near worship

The law defines disturbance of a worship meeting and sets penalties. A first conviction is a misdemeanor with up to a $500 fine or up to 1 year in county jail, or both. A second or later conviction is a felony with up to a $1,000 fine or up to 2 years in state custody, or both. Disturbance includes loud or indecent acts that break order, knowingly blocking entry or exit, approaching within 8 feet to leaflet, show a sign, or speak near entrances (within 100 feet) without consent, and unlawfully blocking highways within one mile.
