This bill amends R.S. 14:40.6(C) concerning the unlawful disruption of school operations, specifically addressing penalties for offenders. The revised law stipulates that individuals committing this offense will face a fine of up to one thousand dollars or imprisonment for no more than six months, or both. For those with a second or subsequent offense, the penalties increase to a fine of up to one thousand dollars or imprisonment for a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years, or both.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for offenders to participate in conflict resolution classes, as outlined in R.S. 17:416.15, alongside any other penalties imposed. This aims to provide a constructive approach to addressing the behavior that leads to school disruptions, promoting conflict resolution skills among offenders.
