Repeals the federal criminal prohibition in 18 U.S.C. §248 that made it a federal crime to block access to clinics (commonly known as the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances or "FACE" provision). The repeal removes the federal criminal penalties tied to that statute and is effective for prosecutions pending on enactment as well as prosecutions begun on or after the enactment date.
