SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 11 grants certain rights to individuals wishing to engage in non-commercial communication, expression and solicitation on the property of privately owned large shopping malls. The bill allows for a person to engage in non-commercial oral communication with others, distribute non-commercial literature, solicit individuals' signatures on non-commercial petitions or express views and opinions in common public areas.
The bill also provides a definition of a large mall being on that has leased space and common areas totaling five hundred thousand or more square feet. Also, the bill allows these activities if they do not substantially interfere with the business of the mall and allows mall owners to impose reasonable restrictions on the time, place and manner of such activities.
