Georgias Senate Bill 443, which increases penalties for road-blocking protesters without permits, has passed the House with a 96-69 vote. The bill, now on Governors desk, turns the offense into a high and aggravated misdemeanor, carrying up to one year in jail or a $5,000 fine. Supporters argue its about public safety, while critics fear it may deter peaceful protests. As Georgias legislative session nears its end, the bills fate hangs in the balance, potentially reshaping the balance between free speech and road safety.
