Republican lawmakers in North Carolina have proposed a bill that would enhance penalties for people wearing a mask during a crime or intentionally blocking traffic during protests.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has approved legislation allowing the death penalty in child rape convictions. The change was championed by the Republican-controlled Statehouse despite concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court has banned capital punishment in such cases.

The new Tennessee law, which goes into effect July 1, authorizes the state to pursue capital punishment when an adult is convicted of aggravated rape of a child. Those convicted could be sentenced to death, imprisonment for life without possibility of parole, or imprisonment for life.
