Legal experts warn it risks chilling free expression by allowing subjective judgments of “reasonable” distress, while media groups urge removal, fearing it could silence journalists and citizens. Supporters argue it’s meant to deter harassment and ensure safe care, but critics fear it could criminalize peaceful protests or sidewalk counseling. With conflicting versions in the legislature and constitutional scholars unanimously rejecting either approach, the bill’s future hangs in the balance — as fundamental rights clash with political intent.
