DoomsdaysCWState by State Pending and recently passed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiProtestLaws</a>: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthCarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthCarolina</a> HB 237: Heightened penalties for street <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protesters</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskedProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaskedProtesters</a>Increases penalties for protesters who block <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/traffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#traffic</a> and for masked protesters who break any law. The law makes it a Class A1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 150 days in jail and a fine, to willfully impede traffic while participating in a demonstration on a street or highway. Second and subsequent offenses would be a Class H felony, punishable by up to 25 months in prison. Under the law, “organizers” of street protests can be held civilly liable for any injury resulting from delays caused by the obstruction of an emergency vehicle. The law does not define “organizer,” such that anyone involved in the planning of a protest might be covered, nor does it require that the “organizer” have any intent or knowledge that an emergency vehicle would be obstructed. Additionally, the law narrows the health-related exception to North Carolina’s ban on wearing masks in public, requiring that a mask worn for health or safety reasons must be a “medical or surgical grade” mask worn “to prevent[] the spread of contagious disease.” The law broadens the authority of law enforcement and third parties to require someone to remove their masks in such cases. Under the law, someone convicted of any offense, including nonviolent protest-related offenses, can face steeper punishment if they were wearing a mask or other face covering at the time, regardless of the reason for doing so. The bill’s sponsor cited recent <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProPalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProPalestine</a> protests on college campuses, in which some protesters have worn masks.Full text of bill: <a href="https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2023/h237" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2023/h237</a>Status: enactedIntroduced 7 May 2024; Approved by Senate 15 May 2024; Approved by House 11 June 2024; Vetoed by Governor Cooper 21 June 2024; Veto overridden 27 June 2024Issue(s): Civil Liability, Face Covering, Traffic InterferenceHB 40: HEIGHTENED PENALTIES FOR "RIOT" AND RELATED OFFENSESIncreases the penalty for an individual who "incites or urges another to engage in a riot," if a riot occurs and results in $1,500 of property damage or injury. In such a case, the individual is guilty of a Class E felony, punishable by more than two years in prison, even if they did not personally cause any damage or injury. Under the law, an individual convicted of "riot" or incitement offenses is also civilly liable to anyone whose property or person was damaged by the riot, in the amount of three times the actual damage in addition to court costs and attorney’s fees. Preexisting North Carolina law defines riot to include a "public disturbance" by a group of three or more people that presents an "imminent threat of disorderly and violent conduct," resulting in a "clear and present danger" of property damage or injury. Under this definition, no violence or damage need occur for participants in a gathering to be arrested for and charged with "riot." While the new law would add a limitation requiring an “overt act” in order for someone to be convicted of a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riot</a> or incitement to riot offense, that requirement could be read broadly to include <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeacefulChanting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeacefulChanting</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marching</a> with a crowd that is deemed to be a “riot.” Finally, the law requires that a judge, rather than another judicial official, determine the pretrial release of an individual charged with a riot offense. The judge may hold the individual for 24 hours, and may require that they stay away from places where the "riot" occurred. The text of HB 40 is nearly identical to the amended version of HB 805 that passed both the North Carolina House and Senate in 2021 before being vetoed by the Governor.Full text of bill: <a href="https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2023/h40" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2023/h40</a>Status: enactedIntroduced 1 Feb 2023; Approved by House 8 February 2023; Approved by Senate 9 March 2023; Became law without Governor Cooper's signature 21 March 2023Issue(s): Civil Liability, RiotSB 58: New penalties for protests near <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipelines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipelines</a> Introduces new potential criminal penalties and civil liability for peaceful protests near existing and planned pipelines and other energy infrastructure. The enacted version of the law makes it a Class C felony offense to knowingly and willfully “obstruct, impede, or impair” or “attempt to obstruct, impede, or impair” the services of an energy facility. The law defines “energy facility” to include any facility involved in the transmission of “electricity, fuel, or another form or source of energy,” including facilities that are under construction or otherwise not functioning. As such, a group of people protesting the construction of a fossil fuel pipeline could face more than 15 years in prison and a mandatory $250,000 fine if they impede or impair the construction of a pipeline, for instance by blocking workers’ access to the pipeline construction site. Under the law, such protesters, along with anyone who “aides or abets, solicits, conspires, or lends material support” to their act of impeding construction could also be sued in civil court by someone whose property was damaged, for an amount equivalent to three times the actual damage as well as court costs and attorneys' fees.

If the "riot" resulted in property damage of over $1,500, or serious injury, anyone deemed to have engaged in the "riot" (regardless of their role in the damage or injury) could be convicted of a Class G felony, punishable by 31 months in prison. The bill would not alter North Carolina's broad definition of "riot," which does not require any actual violence or destructive activity. Under the bill, peaceful protesters in a group of three or more who present an "imminent threat of disorderly and violent conduct" that "creates a clear and present danger" of property damage or injury could face felony convictions and lengthy prison sentences. Note: A later amendment eliminated the proposed increase in penalty for engaging in a "riot." It also eliminated the proposal to make it a Class G felony for engaging in a riot that resulted in property damage over $1,500 or serious bodily injury. Instead, it replaced that proposal by making it a Class G felony if during the course of a riot a person caused over $1,500 in property damage or a Class F felony if the person during the course of a riot caused serious bodily injury or brandished a dangerous weapon or substance. It also clarified that "mere presence alone without an overt act" is not sufficient to sustain a conviction of rioting.

Under the bill, individuals or groups that establish an unauthorized “encampment” would no longer be lawfully present on campus for the purpose of speech protections under Arizona law; they would be criminally liable to prosecution for trespass and damaging public property; and they would be liable for “direct and indirect costs” of any damage “that resulted from the individual’s intentional or negligent conduct relating” to the encampment. The bill defines “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/encampment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#encampment</a>” as “temporary shelter” installed on campus and used to stay overnight or “for a prolonged period of time.” The bill would require colleges and universities to order individuals to dismantle and vacate unauthorized encampments; if the individuals refuse to comply, the institution would be required to take disciplinary action and report the individuals to local law enforcement for trespassing. The bill's sponsor said that it was motivated by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProPalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProPalestine</a> protests on college campuses.Full text of bill here: <a href="https://apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/BillOverview/83353" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/BillOverview/83353</a>Status: pendingIntroduced 12 Feb 2025; Approved by House 3 March 2025Issue(s): Campus Protests, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trespass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trespass</a>, CampingHB 2007: Harsh penalties for protesters who conceal their identity**Note: HB 2007 was signed into law following amendments that removed the most restrictive provisions.** As originally introduced in the House, the bill made it a felony to wear any kind of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disguise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disguise</a> at a protest. The introduced bill broadly prohibited disguises, "whether partial or complete," that an individual wore at a protest, political event, or any other public event in order "to evade or escape discovery, recognition or identification." Under the introduced bill, police would have had authority to detain any individual wearing a disguise in order to verify his or her identity and determine if the person had committed a crime; violation of the disguise ban would have been a Class 6 felony, subject to one year in prison. The sponsor of the bill said it was inspired by clashes between police and protesters, some of whom were masked, outside a 2017 rally for President <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>. Following widespread criticism, the bill was comprehensively revised to a single provision that would allow courts to consider it an aggravating factor, for sentencing purposes, if an individual wore a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mask</a> or other disguise to hide their face while committing a criminal offense.Full bill text here: <a href="https://apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/BillOverview/69619" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/BillOverview/69619</a>Status: enacted with improvementsIntroduced 21 Nov 2017; Governor Ducey signed it 23 March 2018 but the most problematic provisions were defeated.Issue(s): <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FaceCovering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FaceCovering</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Clampdown</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingProtest</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiProtestLaws</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StudentProtests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CampusProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CampusProtests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestineProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreePalestineProtests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Facemasks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facemasks</a>
