New Jersey Senate resolution urging the U.S. Congress to pass the "Safe and Open Streets Act" (S.3492 and H.R.6926)

The federal legislation would make it a crime to purposely obstruct, delay, or affect commerce by blocking a public road or highway

Resolution cites anti-Israel protests in New York City and Los Angeles as examples of demonstrations that have caused significant delays and disruptions

Argues that road-blocking protests create safety hazards, divert law enforcement resources, delay emergency responders, and disrupt commerce

Copies of the resolution would be sent to the President, congressional leadership, and all New Jersey members of Congress
