California proposes 100-foot buffer zones around houses of worship to protect against protests and antisemitism.
California Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan has introduced AB 2664, a bill creating 100-foot buffer zones around houses of worship, requiring protesters to stay at least 8 feet away from congregants without consent.
The measure, backed by Jewish California and other groups, aims to protect religious freedom amid rising antisemitism and protests, particularly near synagogues.
It responds to surveys showing many Jewish Americans feel unsafe at religious sites and reflects similar efforts in New York and other states.
While the bill seeks to balance free speech with safety, legal questions remain over First Amendment implications, with law enforcement and civil liberties advocates weighing in on enforcement and constitutional limits.
