Including federal law enforcement officers in the definition of law enforcement officer that is used in certain crimes and traffic provisions and clarifying that enforcement of a federal law is covered under the tort claims act.

Summary

SB 452 would treat federal law‑enforcement agents the same as state officers for certain criminal and traffic rules, and it makes it a Class B misdemeanor to knowingly get within 25 feet of a first responder after being told to stay back. The bill also revises rules on abandoned vehicles, emergency‑vehicle designations, and expands the Tort Claims Act immunity to cover enforcement of federal laws and executive orders. The measure died on the House calendar and did not become law.
