Bill > HB143

This bill, known as The Devinee and John Wesley Safe Streets Act, revises penalties and restitution for motor vehicle accidents by amending existing Alabama laws. Specifically, it changes the classification of criminally negligent homicide when caused by a driver violating certain traffic laws from a Class C felony to a Class B felony. It also redefines the penalties for violations related to property damage, physical injury, serious physical injury, and death resulting from traffic accidents, escalating them to Class A misdemeanor, Class C felony, Class B felony, and Class A felony respectively. Furthermore, it establishes that individuals suffering damages from such criminal conduct are considered victims for restitution purposes under Alabama law.
