The bill enacts a new law under R.S. 14:109, which establishes the crime of unlawfully approaching a peace officer who is engaged in their official duties. Specifically, it prohibits individuals from knowingly or intentionally coming within twenty-five feet of a peace officer after being ordered to stop or retreat. The definition of "peace officer" is expanded to include all individuals as defined in R.S. 14:112.4(B)(2) and R.S. 40:2402(3).

Additionally, the bill provides an affirmative defense for individuals charged under this law, allowing them to argue that they did not receive or understand the officer's order due to the circumstances at the time. Penalties for violating this provision include a fine of up to five hundred dollars, imprisonment for up to sixty days, or both.
