The proposed bill establishes the crime of trespassing on the premises of a place of worship, specifically prohibiting individuals from entering or remaining on such premises, or within fifty feet of any egress, one hour before or after a worship service. The intent behind this trespass must be to disrupt worship services, menace or harass congregants or employees, or to politically intimidate or incite fear of violence among attendees. Violating this provision is classified as a Class 5 felony. Additionally, the bill defines a "place of worship" as a structure where individuals regularly gather for religious activities, which is recognizable as such based on its design and features.

Furthermore, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety, and thus will take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency underscores the bill's intent to protect congregants and maintain the sanctity of worship spaces from potential disruptions or threats.
