Crime: picketing.

Existing law makes it a crime for a person to disturb, obstruct, detain, or interfere with any person carrying or accompanying human remains to a cemetery or funeral establishment, or engaged in a funeral service or an interment. This bill would make it a crime, punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000, imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding 6 months, or by both, for a person to engage in picketing, as defined, except upon private property, which is targeted at a funeral, as defined, during the time period beginning one hour prior to the funeral and ending one hour after the conclusion of the funeral. The bill would set forth related findings and declarations. Because this bill would create a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law requires the Commissioner of Financial Institutions to give public notice of specified final orders affecting the license of a licensee or foreign credit union. This bill would require the commissioner to also post the notice of specified orders affecting a licensee or foreign credit union on the department's public Internet Web site. The bill would authorize the commissioner to delay posting the decision or order if he or she makes a finding that such a posting would affect the safety or soundness of the financial institution subject to the order or decision. This bill would also authorize the commissioner to redact certain portions of the orders posted pursuant to these provisions if he or she determines that the redaction is necessary to protect the identity of a customer of the affected institution. This bill would also make technical changes to the Money Transmission Act.
