I read both bills, these do suck, BUT neither list a penalty for violating these laws? No punishments' written in the bills?

At this point, the greater concern is that in order to get these bills passed, they'll have to pass a law/resolution to eliminate the filibuster. That's the big prize. With that done, then they can ram through anything they want. That's what we need to fight and for which we needs Joe Manchin's help.

So, jaywalking is against law yet how it gets applied and the punishment is discretionary. Prior to it becoming a law... Now that it is a law depending on the official observer, you can be charged with jaywalking, creating a traffic hazard to public endangerment.

To put it bluntly, under this bill, what you did for your SIL opens the door for felony prosecution on both of you. This depending on your local jurisdiction and the pressure applied by the new Att/Gen "Jackass" and I'm sure you've read about him...
If they can pass enough of these innocuous little bills through and then get someone to reinterpret them, all of a sudden they have a weapon to use against you.
