Summary
The bill makes it illegal for anyone to drive on public streets, highways, or vehicular areas while a live animal sits in their lap. Violations are treated as infractions with a $100 fine and court costs, but they do not add driver‑license points or insurance surcharges. It also allocates $50,000 for a public‑awareness campaign about the new rule.
