An Act relating to obstruction; and providing for an effective date.

This Alaska bill (SB 74) strengthens penalties for obstructing public spaces like sidewalks, roads, or emergency access. It classifies obstruction creating injury risk or interfering with emergency response as a class C felony, otherwise making it a class A misdemeanor. The bill also establishes automatic civil damages: $10,000 for nominal harm, $50,000 for property damage, $100,000 for bodily injury, and $500,000 for death, plus joint liability for those aiding obstruction. It applies to anyone blocking public areas, including through dropped substances or physical barriers, while excluding permitted activities and service vehicles.
