AI Summary
This bill amends Section 13A-10-52 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to revise the criminal penalties for violations of fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement. The bill creates three categories of offenses: (1) a Class A misdemeanor for general violations, (2) a Class C felony if the flight causes a collision or injury to another person or the offender crosses state lines, and (3) a Class B felony if the flight causes serious injury or death or the offender exceeds the speed limit by 20 mph or more. The bill also requires the suspension of the offender's driver's license for 6 months to 2 years upon conviction. Additionally, the bill states that it is not a violation to continue driving at or below the speed limit with the intent to stop at the nearest safe place.
