In addition to any other law authorizing permits, any permit authority may, by local law or regulation, require that a permit be obtained for a demonstration that will take place within one thousand feet of a funeral event and during or within one hour before or after such funeral event. The existence and requirements of such local law, and any related, lawful regulations, shall be prominently posted in a public area of the office of the permitting authority, and shall also be posted on any website established or available for the use of the permitting authority or, if no such website is available, be posted by annual publication in a newspaper or newspapers of record serving the communities within the jurisdiction of the permit authority. Such local law may require:

In such event, the permit shall specify, expressly and in detail, the time and place and any lawful restrictions that may be imposed regarding such demonstration. If such permit application is denied, the permit authority shall issue a written denial that specifies in detail the manner in which the application is deficient, together with the procedure by which the organizer may obtain timely reconsideration of such determination under this subdivision.
3. (c) The permit issued by a permit authority under this subdivision may, in accordance with applicable law, specify reasonable restrictions on the time, place and manner of the demonstration for which the permit is issued.
