"Honoring and Listening to Our First Responders Act"; establishes offense of interfering with official duties of first responder under certain circumstances.

S 3671, the "Honoring and Listening to Our First Responders Act" (HALO Act), makes it a disorderly persons offense to knowingly approach or remain within 25 feet of a first responder after being instructed to maintain distance, if the purpose is to obstruct, impair, or interfere with their duties through threats, intimidation, or harassment. It directly affects anyone who disregards such a request from law enforcement officers, firefighters (paid or volunteer), or emergency medical personnel (ambulance/rescue squad members). The law imposes penalties of up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both for violations. The bill does not prevent prosecution under other existing laws.
