This bill amends R.S. 14:40.6(C) concerning the unlawful disruption of school operations. It establishes new penalties for offenders, reducing the maximum imprisonment for a first offense from one to five years to a maximum of six months. Additionally, for a second or subsequent offense, the penalties revert to the previous range of one to five years of imprisonment, with the possibility of a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a requirement for individuals convicted of this offense to participate in conflict resolution classes, as outlined in R.S. 17:416.15. This addition aims to address the underlying issues that may lead to such disruptions and promote better conflict management among offenders.
