The vote by state lawmakers suggests a split over response to Israel-Hamas war.
Aysha Abraibesh leads a chant as pro-Palestinian demonstrators block commute traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge on Feb. 14 in San Francisco.
The bill by Assemblymember Kate Sanchez would double the fine for protesters who block a highway and prevent emergency vehicles from passing from $100 to $200. The penalty could rise to $1,000 for multiple offenses within three years. Demonstrators halted traffic April 15 on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge by chaining themselves to stationary vehicles as part of a nationwide effort to push for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.
