The proposed law, simply labelled Senate Bill 285, or SB 285, and designed to deal with “traffic obstruction by protesters” would go into effect in July if passed.

Republican senator Jim Tomes introduced Senate Bill 285 in January, though it was given its first committee hearing on Wednesday. The bill authorizes city officials to use “any means necessary” to break up a group of 10 or more protesters blocking traffic, “even to the point of costing lives.”

Gee, I thought it was a Constitutional right. I didn't realize it was just a custom, like turkey for Thanksgiving or bridal showers...
