To create the felony offense for protestors blocking passage on streets and highways.

HB 3135 creates a new felony offense for protestors who intentionally block public roads, streets, or sidewalks used by the public, making it illegal to obstruct passage. It defines "obstruct" as rendering a path impassable, unreasonably inconvenient, or hazardous. Violations are misdemeanors (fines of $500+ and up to 1 month in jail), but become felonies with harsher penalties ($1,000+ fine and 3-3 years in prison) if the obstruction blocks emergency vehicles, hospitals, or if the person has prior similar convictions. The bill directly affects individuals who protest by physically blocking public thoroughfares, imposing specific criminal penalties for such actions.
