SC H3032

Restructures South Carolina's disorderly conduct statute (Section 16-17-530) to consolidate and expand prohibited behaviors including gross intoxication in public, fighting or threatening violence, using provocative language likely to cause a breach of peace, and disrupting religious services or funerals

Establishes specific protections for funerals and memorial services, prohibiting disruptive conduct within 500 feet of the ceremonial site or processional route, including displaying threatening images, loud abusive language, or blocking pedestrian/vehicular access, within 2 hours before, during, or after the service

Creates graduated penalties: first offense is a misdemeanor (up to $1,000 fine or 90 days imprisonment); second offense is a misdemeanor (up to $3,000 fine or 3 years imprisonment); third or subsequent offense is a felony (up to $5,000 fine and/or 5 years imprisonment)

Repeals existing separate statutes on disturbing religious services (Section 16-17-520) and funerals (Section 16-17-525), consolidating these offenses under the revised disorderly conduct law

Retains provisions allowing first-time offenders to receive conditional discharge with probation and potential expungement upon completion of treatment/rehabilitation programs and payment of a $150 fee
