Bill > H1217

This bill proposes to amend existing laws by adding a new chapter, Chapter 90J, which specifically addresses the penalties for operating a snow vehicle or recreation vehicle. Under this new chapter, if someone knowingly collides with another person using such a vehicle, causing bodily injury that results in death, and then leaves the scene without providing their name, address, and the vehicle's registration number, they will face a penalty of imprisonment in state prison for a minimum of 2.5 years and a maximum of 10 years. This legislation aims to increase the severity of punishment for hit-and-run incidents involving snow and recreation vehicles when death occurs as a result of the collision.
