Bill Summary
Relative to the penalties for motor vehicle operators refusing to stop for a police officer. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 25 of Chapter 90 of existing law to establish penalties for motor vehicle operators who refuse to stop for a police officer. Previously, the law addressed various offenses like refusing to provide identification or produce a license, with a fine of one hundred dollars for such violations. However, this bill introduces a new provision that punishes any person who refuses or neglects to stop when signaled by a uniformed police officer, or one who displays their badge conspicuously, with imprisonment in state prison for up to two years and a fine not exceeding $2,500.
