Any person or entity that "recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires with" a person who trespasses onto a “critical public service facility, utility, or pipeline” would be civilly liable for any damages committed by the trespasser under the bill. They would also be guilty of a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $3,000, if they fail to make a reasonable effort to prevent the violation. Additionally, the bill would make the person who trespasses onto the critical public service facility, utility, or pipeline strictly liable for civil damages. Similar provisions were introduced as SF 1493 in the 2023-2024 session. The bill would also make it a gross misdemeanor to obstruct traffic on a freeway or on a public road within airport property, with intent of obstructing or otherwise interfering with traffic. As written, the offense could cover protesters who even momentarily delayed cars on a freeway while demonstrating on the side of the freeway or on an overpass. Similar provisions were introduced as SF 1285/HF 1967 in the 2021-2022 session. <br>Full text of bill: <a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=Senate&f=SF1363&ssn=0&y=2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?</span><span class="invisible">b=Senate&f=SF1363&ssn=0&y=2025</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 13 Feb 2025.<br>Issue(s): Civil Liability, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestSupporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestSupporters</span></a> or Funders, Infrastructure, Traffic Interference, Trespass</p><p>HF 329 / SF 728: Heightened penalties for protesters who block traffic</p><p>Would heighten penalties for protesters who intentionally “interfere with” or “disrupt” traffic that is entering, exiting, or on a freeway or a roadway on airport property. Under the bill, intentional traffic disruption on freeways or airport roadways would be a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $3,000 fine. A nearly identical bill was proposed as HF 1967 / SF 1285, introduced in 2021.<br>Full text of bill: <a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?f=HF329&y=2025&ssn=0&b=house" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?</span><span class="invisible">f=HF329&y=2025&ssn=0&b=house</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 13 Feb 2025.<br>Issue(s): Traffic Interference</p><p>HF 367 / SF 180: New civil liability for street protesters</p><p>Would allow third parties or the government to sue protesters if they interfere with traffic on certain public roads. Under the bill, someone who intentionally “interferes with” or “obstructs” passage on any “public highway” would be civilly liable for damages and attorneys fees. Any injured person, private entity, or state or local government could bring such a lawsuit, though the bill provides that the government cannot bring both a civil suit and criminal charges for the same conduct. “Highways” in Minnesota include many two-lane roads with stop signs and stoplights. As such, protesters whose demonstration paused or delayed traffic on certain roads could face costly litigation by, for instance, a company that claimed it was “damaged” by the delay.<br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=House&f=HF367&y=2025&ssn=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?</span><span class="invisible">b=House&f=HF367&y=2025&ssn=0</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 13 Feb 2025.<br>Issue(s): Traffic Interference</p><p>SF 708: BARRING PUBLIC BENEFITS FOR PROTEST-RELATED OFFENSES</p><p>Would broadly disqualify a person convicted of an offense during a protest from receiving <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicAssistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicAssistance</span></a>. Any "offense related to the person's illegal conduct at a protest, demonstration, rally, civil unrest, or march" would disqualify the person from a range of benefits, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodAssistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodAssistance</span></a>, education <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/loans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loans</span></a> and grants, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> assistance.
