CNN)A newly proposed bill in Tennessee would make it even more difficult to protest in the state -- by making obstructing a highway a felony and giving immunity to drivers who unintentionally injure or kill those in the way.

The HB13 bill, which was introduced in the Tennessee General Assembly in February, builds on legislation that already exists in the state.

It is already illegal to obstruct a "highway, street, sidewalk, railway, waterway, elevator, aisle, or hallway," but doing so results in a Class A misdemeanor.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Southern Poverty Law Center tracked more than 800 hate groups in 2020 across the U.S. – and many of them were right here in the Mid-South... Tennessee's numbers are nearly double to triple what neighboring states have, with 34 identified and organized hate groups. Seven of them are specifically organized in Shelby County.
