Authored by Representative Johnson B
Summary
The bill creates a new definition of “vulnerable road user” and directs the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to suspend or revoke a driver’s license if the driver is convicted of a moving traffic offense that causes the death of such a person. It also expands license‑suspension rules to include manslaughter, false vehicle‑registration applications, three reckless‑driving convictions in 12 months, and hit‑and‑run failures to stop. The goal is to increase driver accountability for fatalities involving pedestrians, cyclists, first responders and others deemed vulnerable.
