Kavanagh's proposed bill would raise criminal penalties for those who block Arizona’s
highways, explaining his legislation will make protesters who “block a highway, bridge, or tunnel for more than 15 minutes after they’ve been told to leave” guilty of a Class 6 felony. If found guilty, those convicted face a recommended sentence of one year in a state prison. The lawmaker told Arizona Capitol Times he determined to craft the legislation after a November 16 protest blocked the Bay Bridge in San Francisco for hours.
