Introduced by Republican state Rep. Kevin West, H.B. 1674 makes willfully blocking traffic a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Motorists will also be protected from criminal or civil charges if they hit a rioter while attempting to escape, and that rioter is injured or killed.
The bill passed the Oklahoma House last month by a vote of 79-18 and passed the Senate 38-10 on April 14.
