Kentucky passes the Halo Act, creating a 25-foot safety zone around first responders, making interference a misdemeanor or felony depending on repeat offenses.
The Kentucky Senate passed the Halo Act, creating a 25-foot safety zone around first responders during duty, making interference or harassment a misdemeanor for first offenses, escalating to a Class D felony for repeat violations.
The bill, sponsored by Republican Sen. Matt Nunn, passed along party lines, with Democrats and civil rights groups opposing it over concerns about vague language and First Amendment risks.
Supporters say it protects emergency personnel in high-risk situations, while critics argue existing laws already provide safeguards and question the bill’s necessity.
The measure now moves to the House for consideration.
