HB 1372 - Under current law, it is a Class B misdemeanor for a person to picket or otherwise protest within 300 feet of a funeral from one hour before it starts to one hour after it ends. The definition of funeral includes the ceremonies, processions, and memorial services held in connection with the burial or cremation of the dead. This act creates a new section of law for the offense, specifies the types of establishments at which funerals or burial services may be held, provides a definition for "other protest activities, and modifies the definition of funeral.
