Iowans should be able to grieve and honor lost loved ones at a funeral without interference from protesters carrying hateful signs and shouting vile words. A bill that won unanimous support in the Iowa House and Senate will help ensure that happens.
House File 558 requires that those who are demonstrating and being disruptive must stay at least 1,000 feet away from a funeral service, procession, burial or memorial service.
The bill is headed to the Governor for his signature.
