PROTECTING SOLDIERS' FUNERALS FROM HATEFUL PROTESTS
Soldiers who die in the service of our country should be laid to rest with honor and dignity. Their families should not be harassed by hateful protesters. To make sure the families of fallen soldiers can mourn their loved ones in peace, Rep. Zalewski supported legislation strengthening the state's Let Them Rest In Peace Act. The bill keeps protesters further away from mourners at funerals and memorial services and bans protests one hour before and after services. House Bill 1404 awaits a hearing in the Senate.
