## Summary

**Would make it a stronger federal crime to use threats or violence to obstruct commerce while carving out protection for peaceful picketing.** It would reconstitute the Hobbs Act to cover obstructing, delaying, or affecting commerce by robbery, extortion, attempts, conspiracies, or threats of physical violence, define key terms, and set penalties up to 20 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. - Workers and unions: Peaceful picketing during a labor dispute and isolated minor injuries or minor property damage would be exempt from this federal offense and left to State and local prosecution. - People who use violence or threats: Conduct that involves committing or threatening physical violence to further a plan to obstruct commerce would be federally punishable under the redefined offense. - Scope and legal preservation: "Commerce" would be defined to include the District of Columbia, territories, interstate and certain intrastate commerce, and other commerce under U.S. jurisdiction, while explicitly preserving the Clayton Act, the Norris-LaGuardia Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Railway Labor Act.
