(a) No person shall solicit or approach to solicit an occupant of private property which displays signage at its entrance captioned "no peddlers" or "no solicitors."
(b) Any individual who engages in a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continued solicitation of another individual that would cause a reasonable person to feel frightened, intimidated, threatened or harassed, which would include repeated or continuing contact that is initiated or continued without the individual's consent, or in disregard of that individual's expressed desire that the contact be avoided or discontinued, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Evidence that the solicitor or solicitors continued to engage in a course of conduct involving repeated contact with the victim after having been requested by the victim to discontinue the conduct, shall give rise to a rebuttal presumption that the continuation of the course of conduct caused the victim to feel frightened, intimidated, threatened or harassed. Engaging in solicitation of an individual who has posted signage at the entrance of his or her property reading "no peddlers" or "no solicitors" shall give rise to a rebuttal presumption that the solicitor intended to violate this subsection.
