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.

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.
