Summary
The HALO Law defines "first responder" to include police, firefighters, EMTs, probation officers and detention‑facility staff, and it makes it illegal to come within 25 feet of any of them after being warned, if the intent is to impede, threaten, or harass. Violations are punishable as a Class 2 misdemeanor. The bill also earmarks $25,000 for a public‑awareness campaign and sets future effective dates.
