Bill Summary
An Act concerning motor vehicles overtaking certain pedestrians and persons operating bicycles and personal conveyances and amending P.L.2021, c.194.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require motor vehicle operators to approach and pass pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of personal conveyances (such as electric scooters, wheelchairs, or skateboards) with caution and, when possible, change lanes or maintain a safe distance of at least four feet. If it is unsafe to change lanes or maintain the four-foot distance, the operator must reduce their speed to 25 mph or lower and only pass if it can be done safely. Violating these provisions can result in fines and motor vehicle penalty points, depending on whether the violation caused bodily injury.
