Argues that road-blocking protests create hazardous conditions, delay emergency responders, and divert law enforcement resources from other duties

Resolution directs copies be transmitted to the President, congressional leadership, and all New Jersey members of Congress

Sponsored by Senators Douglas J. Steinhardt (District 23) and Joseph Pennacchio (District 26), pre-filed for the 2026 legislative session
