The <a href=\"http:\/\/whnt.com\/2012\/06\/06\/gov-bentley-signs-bill-restricting-funeral-protests\/\">House Bill 238<\/a> will put a 1000 foot boundary that will protect those against those who wish to cause them emotional anguish.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nGovernor Bentley today held a ceremonial signing of  House Bill 238, sponsored by Rep. DuWayne Bridges (R-Valley), which sets a perimeter of 1000 feet, or two blocks, for any disruption of a funeral in Alabama. The bill passed by unanimous votes in both the House and Senate during the recently completed legislative session.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I found the <a href=\"http:\/\/legiscan.com\/gaits\/text\/638778\">full bill online<\/a> for review to see all the fine details. Here are the meat and potatoes of the bill. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A person commits the crime of disrupting a funeral or memorial service if, during the 60 minutes immediately preceding a funeral or memorial service that has a  scheduled starting time, during the funeral or memorial service, or immediately following the funeral or memorial service, the person does any of the following with the intention of disrupting the funeral or memorial service:<\/p>\n<p>Engages in a protest, including, but not 25 limited to, protest with or without using an electric sound  amplification device, that involves singing, chanting, whistling, yelling, or honking a motor vehicle horn within 500-1,000 feet of the entrance to a facility being used for a 4 funeral or memorial service.<\/p>\n<p>Blocks access to a facility being used for the service.<\/p>\n<p>Impedes vehicles that he or she knows are part of the procession.<\/p>\n<p>For purposes of this section, the term &#8220;facility&#8221; includes a funeral home, church, or cemetery in<br \/>\nwhich the funeral or memorial service takes place. <\/p>\n<p>A violation of subsection is a Class A 13 misdemeanor for the first conviction and a Class C felony for<br \/>\n14 each subsequent conviction.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It may not stop them completely but another law like this passing is always a good thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alabama Governor has signed a laws that will restrict protests of funerals considering the past actions &hellip; <a title=\"Alabama helps protect Funerals from WestBro.\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30286\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Alabama helps protect Funerals from WestBro.<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":610,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society","category-veterans-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/610"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30286\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
