The law, passed Oct. 8, made it illegal to come within 30 feet of a vaccination site “for the purpose of obstructing, injuring, harassing, intimidating, or interfering with that person.” U.S. District Judge Dale Drozd made his ruling Saturday, issuing a restraining order that prohibits the state from enforcing the law’s harassment portion, saying the law’s “uncommon definition of ‘harassing,’” is too restrictive, according to the Associated Press. He left in place the law’s ban on obstruction, causing injuries, intimidation, or intervention during such protests, attributing to the fact that these portions “appear to more precisely target the harms that the Legislature sought to prevent and further the state’s interest in ensuring that Californians can freely access vaccination sites....
