Evaluate the drafted changes
Decriminalization is a good place to start when targeting one of the smaller crimes in the US. Your "lead" in this section very simply compacts the initial points in a way that is easy to read and understand the gist of. Whether or not decriminalization really relates to the article's topic is certainly up to the viewer who may be interested in its legal history, but similarly with other crimes, or acts really, that are over-criminalized. Lots of acts that are deemed criminal truly do have key aspects that can make them non-criminal, it's very good that you pointed that out with the Freedom to Walk Act bit to elaborate on how jaywalking can be relatively safe or unharmful depending on the situation.

The tone is very neutral, which is good considering most of what you have so far is very fact-based and revolving around recent/current Acts and Bills. Specifying particular states that have dealt with the decriminalization or change of certain crime regulations shows how morality or right and wrong is very subjective. Similar to states that have decriminalized and legalized weed to a medicinal or recreational extent. Being able to open people's minds on what seems like a minor issue is a great start to getting proper justice for those who have been deemed a criminal or whatever negative term and status in the legal system.

Love the amount of sources you have lined up, I'm not sure how many of them are relevant to what you've written so far but it seems like you'll have a lot to discuss for such a small crime :)
