Establishes the crime of interference with emergency first responders; creates a fifteen foot buffer zone around emergency first responders engaged in the performance of their official duties.

The bill establishes a new crime for interfering with emergency first responders, such as police and paramedics, while they are doing their jobs. It also creates a fifteen-foot buffer zone around these responders to help protect them from interference and ensure they can perform their duties safely.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is essential for protecting the safety of emergency first responders, allowing them to focus on their critical work without distractions or threats. They believe the buffer zone will help ensure quicker and more efficient emergency responses, ultimately benefiting the community.

Critics of the bill may argue that it could infringe on the public's right to observe and engage with emergency situations. They may also express concerns that the buffer zone could be overly restrictive and limit accountability for first responders by keeping the public at a distance.
