Urges Congress to pass "Safe and Open Streets Act."
This New Jersey Senate Resolution (SR 102) urges U.S. Congress to pass the "Safe and Open Streets Act" (pending as S.3492/H.R.6926). The resolution states the proposed federal law would criminalize intentionally blocking public roads or highways during protests, making it a crime to obstruct commerce or movement of goods. It specifically references recent protests in cities like New York and Los Angeles that disrupted traffic and required law enforcement responses. The resolution does not create new law but formally requests Congress take action to address roadway blockages during demonstrations.
