Bill > H429

This bill makes it unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle in a "street takeover," which is defined as the taking over of a portion of a highway, street, or public vehicular area by blocking or impeding the regular flow of traffic to perform dangerous motor vehicle stunts like burnouts, donuts, or drifting. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors or felonies, with fines and potential vehicle seizure. The bill also expands the existing law on seizure of vehicles involved in prearranged speed competitions to apply to street takeovers, allowing for the sale or repurposing of such vehicles. The bill goes into effect on May 1, 2023, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
