* §  13.31  Permits for activities near certain funeral events. 1. For
the purposes of this section:
(a) "Demonstration" shall mean a pre-planned gathering  of  twelve  or
more persons who are invited or organized by an organizer to convene for
the  purpose  of  a  public  exhibition  including a procession, parade,
protest, picket, march or rally on public property concerning and in the
vicinity of a funeral event.
(b) "Funeral event" shall mean a wake,  funeral,  burial  or  memorial
service  conducted  within thirty days after the death of the person who
is the subject of such event.
(c) "Organizer" shall mean the person or organization  that  plans  or
coordinates  a demonstration for which a permit may be required pursuant
to this section.
2. The commissioner may  promulgate  regulations  to  require  that  a
permit  be  obtained for a demonstration that will take place in a state
park, state parkway or other state property, within one thousand feet of
a funeral event, and during or within one  hour  before  or  after  such
funeral event. The existence and requirements of such lawful regulations
shall  be  prominently  posted  in  a  public  area  of  the  office  or
headquarters of each park under the jurisdiction of the state department
of parks and  recreation  and  shall  also  be  posted  on  any  website
established or available for the use of the office. Such regulations may
require:
(a)  An  organizer  of  such  a  demonstration  to  apply for a permit
concerning  such  demonstration  provided,  however,  that  such  permit
application  process  shall  be available for a reasonable period before
such funeral event is actually scheduled to begin.
(b) Upon filing such an application, the office shall promptly  review
such  application  and, if the application satisfies the requirements of
this subdivision as well as any additional requirements the commissioner
may, by lawful regulation, impose, then the office shall  issue  to  the
organizer  a  permit  under  this subdivision. In such event, the permit
shall specify, expressly and in detail,  the  time  and  place  and  any
lawful restrictions that may be imposed regarding such demonstration. If
such  permit  application  is  denied,  the office shall issue a written
denial that specifies in detail the manner in which the  application  is
deficient, together with the procedure by which the organizer may obtain
timely reconsideration of such determination under this subdivision.
(c)  The  permit  issued  by the office under this subdivision may, in
accordance with applicable law, specify reasonable restrictions  on  the
time,  place  and  manner  of  the demonstration for which the permit is
issued.
(d) The commissioner may require the organizer to pay a reasonable fee
with the permit  application  in  order  to  reduce  administrative  and
processing costs.
3.  Any  person  who,  after  proper  notice  and  opportunity  for an
adjudicatory hearing, is  found  to  have  intentionally  organized  and
conducted  a  demonstration  within one thousand feet of a funeral event
without first having obtained a required permit under this section shall
be subject to a civil penalty of up to  five  hundred  dollars  for  the
first  such  violation  determined  to  have  been  committed, up to one
thousand dollars for a second such violation  determined  to  have  been
committed  within three years of the first such violation, and up to two
thousand dollars for a third such  violation  determined  to  have  been
committed within such three year period. The state police power and that
of  its localities may be employed to provide adequate public safety and
protection at such a funeral event and the procession to  or  from  such
funeral event.
