Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning traffic regulations; relating to reckless driving; including operating a motor vehicle at a speed of 100 miles per hour or more and 35 miles per hour over the posted speed limit under the crime of reckless driving; amending K.S.A. 8-254 and 8-1566 and repealing the existing sections.

AI Summary

This bill amends Kansas law to expand the definition of reckless driving to include operating a motor vehicle at a speed of 100 miles per hour or more, or at a speed that is 35 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit, regardless of the driver's intent or mental state. Previously, reckless driving primarily focused on willful or wanton disregard for safety. The bill also makes changes to how driving privileges are revoked for certain offenses, specifically excluding violations committed under the new reckless driving provisions from certain automatic revocation rules under K.S.A. 8-254, which outlines offenses that lead to the revocation of a person's driving privileges. The existing sections of K.S.A. 8-254 and K.S.A. 8-1566 that are being changed are repealed and replaced by these new provisions.
