Bill > H916

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to create a new section, Section 24 3/4, which makes it a punishable offense to intentionally block, obstruct, impede, or interfere with the normal and reasonable movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic upon a public street or highway. The bill establishes fines and imprisonment penalties for such violations, with harsher punishments for violations that result in substantial bodily injury or death to another person. The bill also allows for restitution to be ordered to reimburse emergency service agencies for costs incurred in responding to such violations. The bill provides exemptions for public safety personnel, emergency responders, and those engaged in roadway maintenance or construction activities.
