1. Purpose. The protection and preservation of the home is of the highest public importance. The public health and welfare and the good order of the community require that citizens be protected in the enjoyment of their homes and neighborhoods and to the feeling of well-being, tranquility, and privacy while in their homes, as well as the freedom from being made to be a captive audience to unwanted speech while at home, or as they may leave from, or return to, their homes and dwellings. The practice of targeted residential picketing causes emotional disturbance and distress to residents, and has the potential to incite breaches of the peace and disrupt the well-being and tranquility of the home. Full opportunity exists for individuals to exercise their rights of free speech without resorting to targeted residential picketing. The provisions of this section are enacted for the purpose of protecting the significant public interests stated above and not to suppress free speech rights of any particular viewpoint or any other constitutional right. This section is intended to establish a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction that is content neutral and that reconciles and protects the First Amendment rights of picketers to peacefully communicate and express their ideas with the right of persons to enjoy the right to tranquility, well-being, and privacy in their residential dwellings.
