Establishes the class E felony of official interference with transportation
This bill creates a new class E felony offense for public servants who intentionally disrupt transportation systems. It specifically targets actions like unauthorized use of official powers or willful failure to perform duties that interfere with travel on roads, highways, bridges, railways, waterways, or airways. Public servants, including police or transit workers, could face felony charges if they knowingly cause delays or block movement. The law defines two clear scenarios for the offense and sets a specific criminal penalty.
