Move Over Law Study Committee

The "Move Over Law Study Committee" bill aims to establish a committee to study and evaluate the effectiveness of existing "move over" laws. These laws require drivers to move over or slow down when passing emergency vehicles on the side of the road. The committee will assess the impact of these laws, recommend improvements if necessary, and provide a report with findings and recommendations to enhance the safety of emergency responders and motorists. This bill seeks to improve road safety for both emergency personnel and drivers by ensuring that move over laws are effective in protecting those on the roadside.
