Summary

The bill revises the state’s fleeing‑police statute to impose a prison term of 30 days for each mile a person drives while fleeing, while also prohibiting any suspension, reduction, or concurrent sentencing. It adds a new crime for using a vehicle, motorcycle, or blue‑light device that resembles a law‑enforcement vehicle to impersonate an officer. The changes apply to anyone who flees or attempts to elude designated police officers or who falsely presents themselves as law‑enforcement using a vehicle.
