obstructing criminal investigations; homeowner exemption

Summary

The bill adds a new felony for anyone who knowingly tries to stop or delay the flow of information or testimony to law‑enforcement officials by bribery, intimidation, force or threats. It also creates a specific exemption so that a residential property owner who refuses to open the door for a peace officer is not covered by that felony. The change aims to protect investigations while preserving a homeowner’s right to deny entry.
