§ 2-21-123. Enforcement.

(a)

If a law enforcement officer reasonably believes an individual is engaged in one of the activities prohibited by section 2-21-122(1) through (5) above, the officer will first ask the individual what business he or she may have at that public building. If the individual provides a reasonable explanation, no further action will be taken. If the individual cannot provide a reasonable explanation, the officer will tell the individual to leave the public building immediately and, if appropriate, to remove shelters, children, personal property and pets. If the individual complies, the officer will take no further action. An individual who refuses to leave and remove personal property, or who returns to the same public building without a reasonable explanation before that building next reopens for business, shall be subject to arrest for violation of this article and will be charged with the prohibited act he or she committed.

(b)

If a law enforcement officer reasonably believes an individual has engaged in or is engaged in one of the activities prohibited by section 2-21-122(6) or (7) above, the officer will tell the individual to leave the public building immediately. If the individual complies, the officer will take no further action. An individual who refuses to leave and remove personal property, or who returns to the same public building without a reasonable explanation before that building next reopens for public business, shall be subject to arrest for violation of this article and will be charged with the prohibited act he or she committed.

(c)

If a law enforcement officer reasonably believes an individual is about to engage in one of the activities prohibited above, the officer will advise the individual that the activity is prohibited by a county ordinance. If the individual persists in committing the prohibited act, he or she shall be subject to arrest for violation of this article.
