in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Anyone who willfully removes, disturbs, destroys, or molests ancient ruins or relics in the park commits a misdemeanor. A court can fine the person up to $1,000, imprison them up to twelve months, or both. The judge can also order the person to restore the damaged property if possible.

This section is a single, undivided provision with no lettered subsections. It makes it a crime to willfully remove, disturb, destroy, or "molest" — meaning damage, tamper with, or interfere with — any ruins, mounds, buildings, graves, relics, or other evidence of an ancient civilization, or other property, taken from the named park. Anyone convicted of doing this is guilty of a misdemeanor. A court with authority over the case can fine the person up to $1,000, imprison them for up to twelve months, or, at the judge's discretion, impose both the fine and the imprisonment together. The judge can also require the person to restore the property they disturbed, if that is possible to do.
