What it does
The Safe and Open Streets Act would amend federal law to create a new criminal offense for intentionally blocking public roads or highways in a way that obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the movement of goods. Violators could face fines, up to five years in prison, or both. The bill also updates related sections of Title 18 of the U.S. Code to remove references to "threats or violence" in the heading and cross-references of the Hobbs Act, reflecting the expanded scope of the offense to include non-violent road blockades.
