"The number of those who took part in the voting was 343. The number of those who voted was 325. There were 210 [senators], who voted for the passage [of the bill], and 115 were against," the chairperson of the session said.
The bill, which has also been called the "anti-hooligan" law, has now passed on to French President Emmanuel Macron, who will either sign it into law or veto it.
Speaking at the Senate on Tuesday, French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said that the bill was aimed at strengthening public order and protecting protesters, journalists, vendors and law enforcement officers.

The document stipulates that, upon the written order of the prosecutor, police officers will be allowed to search bags, personal belongings and cars at protests.
Violations of the law would result in a fine amounting to 7,500 euros ($8,465) or six months of imprisonment.
"Every single decision to ban participation in demonstrations must be substantiated, motivated, and proportionate. It must be directly related to violent behaviour during protests. This provision is directed specifically at a small number of violent individuals and cannot be applied in a more general sense," Castaner stressed.

The ban on participation in protests could be challenged in court and revoked, according to the official.
"The court remains the ultimate guarantor of freedom," the French interior minister said.
Fines for Wearing Masks
The original text of the document provided for the creation of a list of individuals who would be prohibited from participating in demonstrations. However, this provision was rejected by the National Assembly.
On Monday, spokesman for the French government Benjamin Griveaux said that Macron intended to appeal to the French Constitutional Council to examine the draft law for its compliance with the constitution.
