Offenses Against Public Order; the punishment for the offense of obstructing highways, streets, sidewalks, or other public passages; increase

The penalty for obstructing a highway or street was changed from a 'high and aggravated misdemeanor' to a standard 'misdemeanor'.

A provision that elevated the offense to a felony with a minimum five-year prison sentence if the obstruction caused bodily injury or property destruction was deleted.

A new specific clause was added to address the obstruction of sidewalks or other public passages as a misdemeanor.

The initial list of locations where obstruction is illegal was shortened by removing 'sidewalks' and 'other public passages' from the main paragraph, as they are now covered in the new specific clause.
