Bill > SB1286

This bill, also known as the Kyle Costrello and Glenn Compton Law, amends Pennsylvania law by changing the penalties associated with certain traffic offenses. Specifically, it removes a reference to careless driving from the list of offenses that automatically result in a six-month suspension of a driver's operating privilege, which is the right to drive a vehicle. However, it introduces a new penalty for careless driving when it unintentionally causes another person's death: the driver will be guilty of a misdemeanor, face a fine of up to $2,500, and have their operating privilege suspended for up to two years, requiring a certified record of conviction or adjudication of delinquency.
