California AB2664 prohibits intentional obstruction of access to places of religious worship within 100 feet of entrances or exits.
California AB2664 amends the Penal Code to establish a 100-foot buffer zone around entrances and exits of places of religious worship. Within this zone, individuals are prohibited from approaching within 8 feet of another person seeking to enter or exit the worship site to engage in activities such as passing leaflets, displaying signs, or engaging in oral protests, education, harassment, obstruction, threats, or intimidation. A first violation is a misdemeanor, while subsequent violations carry harsher penalties.
