(720 ILCS 5/21.1-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 21.1-1)
Sec. 21.1-1.
Legislative finding and declaration.
The Legislature finds and declares that men in a free society have the
right to quiet enjoyment of their homes; that the stability of community
and family life cannot be maintained unless the right to privacy and a
sense of security and peace in the home are respected and encouraged; that
residential picketing, however just the cause inspiring it, disrupts home,
family and communal life; that residential picketing is inappropriate in
our society, where the jealously guarded rights of free speech and assembly
have always been associated with respect for the rights of others. For
these reasons the Legislature finds and declares this Article to be
necessary.
