Crimes and offenses; penalties for eluding or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, penalties further provided

Summary

The bill changes the base crime of eluding a law‑enforcement officer from a misdemeanor to a Class D felony. It adds automatic upgrades to more serious felonies when a child is in the vehicle, the driver is on bail, probation, parole, or in a work‑release program, has prior eluding convictions, exceeds the speed limit by more than 20 mph, or causes injury or strikes an officer or the officer’s vehicle. It also requires minimum confinement periods for second and subsequent convictions.
