The proposed legislation enacts a new section, R.S. 14:103.3, which addresses offenses related to disturbing the peace in the vicinity of an individual's residence. It prohibits activities such as petitioning, picketing, demonstrating, or assembling within fifty feet of a person's home if these actions interfere with or threaten to disrupt the individual's right to control or use their residence.
Violators of this new provision will face penalties, including a fine of up to five hundred dollars, with each day of violation considered a separate offense. Additionally, the bill defines "residence" to encompass any dwelling, house, apartment, or structure used as a home or place of abode by an individual.
