Scott Bayou protests in front of a vaccination site at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Jan. 30, 2021.

A recent state law that prohibits protesters from coming within 30 feet of vaccination clinics to harass or obstruct those seeking to enter has been blocked by a federal magistrate, who said it violates free speech.

The legislation, SB742 by Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 8 and took effect immediately. Pan, a physician, introduced the bill after protests last spring briefly shut down a mass coronavirus vaccination site at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and said it was needed to protect patients and health care workers.
