Bill > SB169

This bill, known as the Devinee Rooney and John Wesley Holt Safe Streets Act, amends existing laws related to manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and other motor vehicle crimes, as well as restitution for victims. Specifically, it clarifies that causing the death of another individual while operating a motor vehicle or vessel in violation of certain traffic laws constitutes manslaughter, which is a Class B felony. It also revises the penalties for criminally negligent homicide, making it a Class A misdemeanor unless caused by a driver violating specific traffic laws, in which case it becomes a Class C felony. Furthermore, the bill updates penalties for violations related to property damage, physical injury, serious physical injury, or death resulting from motor vehicle incidents, classifying them as Class A misdemeanors, Class C felonies, and Class B felonies, respectively, and designates individuals suffering damage or loss as victims for restitution purposes.
