California AB2664 prohibits intentional obstruction of access to places of religious worship.

California AB2664 amends the Penal Code to establish penalties for intentionally obstructing access to places of religious worship. The bill defines "place of religious worship" to include the parking lot and driveways of such places. It prohibits approaching within 8 feet of a person or vehicle without consent to engage in leafleting, displaying signs, oral protest, or harassment. A first violation is a misdemeanor, while subsequent violations carry harsher penalties. The bill aims to ensure unimpeded access to religious worship without infringing on constitutionally protected speech.
