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 six months, while maintaining a fine of up to one thousand dollars. For second or subsequent offenses, the penalties revert to a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years of imprisonment, with the same fine.

Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for offenders to participate in conflict resolution classes, enhancing the focus on rehabilitation alongside punitive measures. This change aims to address the underlying issues that may lead to such disruptions, promoting a more constructive approach to handling conflicts within school environments.
