The bill was explained by Representative Stone of the 9th who offered House Amendment Schedule "A" (LCO 3815) and moved its adoption.

The amendment was discussed by Representative Kirkley-Bey of the 5th.

(b) Any person who knowingly operates an audiovisual recording function of a device in a motion picture theater while a motion picture is being exhibited without the consent of the owner or lessee of such theater and with the intent to record such motion picture shall be guilty of a class B misdemeanor.
