The bill aims to increase penalties for anyone who intentionally obstructs or disrupts traffic on major roads such as trunk highways, at airports, or on transit routes in Minnesota. Specifically, it changes the existing law to make such acts a gross misdemeanor, which is a more serious charge than a misdemeanor. This does not apply to law enforcement, emergency responders, or certain other officials performing their duties. The definitions of "freeway" and "airport" are specified to include highways with controlled access and airports with control towers and airline service.
