House Bill No. by Representative Schlegel seeks to amend Louisiana's laws regarding disturbing the peace by adding specific conduct that qualifies as such. The bill introduces new provisions under R.S. 14:103(A)(9) and (B)(3), which define the interruption of any worship service or religious ceremony at a church or other place of worship as an act that constitutes disturbing the peace.

In addition to defining this new offense, the bill establishes penalties for those found guilty of disturbing the peace in this manner. Offenders may face a fine of up to $500, imprisonment for a maximum of six months, or both. Furthermore, the legislation stipulates that 15 days of any imposed sentence must be served without the possibility of probation or suspension. This bill aims to protect the sanctity of religious practices by ensuring that such interruptions are legally recognized and penalized.
