Bill > HB05190

This bill authorizes municipalities to create local ordinances specifically targeting "street takeovers," which are typically events where groups of people illegally occupy public roadways, often involving dangerous driving behaviors like performing vehicle stunts, blocking traffic, or creating hazardous conditions. Under this proposed legislation, individual cities and towns would have the legal power to draft their own regulations prohibiting such activities and establishing monetary fines for individuals or groups who violate these local ordinances. The bill provides municipalities with additional local control to address public safety concerns related to street takeovers, allowing them to develop and enforce penalties tailored to their specific community needs. By granting this regulatory authority, the bill aims to give local governments a more direct mechanism to prevent and discourage potentially dangerous street events that can disrupt traffic, endanger public safety, and create nuisance conditions.
