The Texas Legislature is currently considering legislation to make blocking a roadway a state jail felony if the protester blocks passage of an emergency vehicle or the entrance to a hospital, the Texas Tribune reported.

The bill, HB-9, passed out of the Texas House of Representatives by a vote of 90-55 and headed to the Senate for consideration.
