Bill > HB1293

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, defines "vulnerable road user" to include first responders, individuals working on roads, those operating farm equipment, tow truck operators, pedestrians, and individuals lawfully operating bicycles or electric bicycles. It amends existing law to require the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to suspend or revoke the driver's license or driving privileges of an individual convicted of a moving traffic offense that causes the death of one of these vulnerable road users, with the exception of offenses under IC 9-30-5. This new provision is added to a list of existing offenses that already trigger license suspension or revocation, such as manslaughter or reckless homicide resulting from vehicle operation, and failure to stop at the scene of an accident resulting in death or injury. The bill also clarifies that for offenses resulting in death, the suspension period will be at least two years and not more than five years, determined by the BMV based on court recommendations.
