Bill > HB3427

This bill, known as "Bridges' Law," creates new criminal offenses related to deliberate, unsafe driving. It defines "deliberate, unsafe driving" as committing two or more moving violations that endanger others or property, or one intentional violation that forces another driver to react defensively. Engaging in this behavior is a misdemeanor, but it becomes a Class C1 felony if it poses an immediate and significant risk of harm and results in a collision, forcing another car off the road, or otherwise endangering others. If such dangerous driving endangers a minor child, it's a Class B6 felony. If it causes great bodily injury, it's a Class B4 felony. Driving unsafely in a construction or school zone also results in a Class B6 felony. Conviction for any of these offenses will lead to the mandatory revocation of the driver's license by the Department of Public Safety. The bill also amends existing laws to reclassify certain offenses and adjust penalties, specifically incorporating the new driving offenses into the definitions of Class B4, B6, and C1 felonies and modifying the list of offenses that mandate the revocation of driving privileges. This act will take effect on January 1, 2027.
