Summary of the proposed Strike-Everything Amendment to HB 2208

The strike everything amendment to HB 2208 states that a driver is guilty of negligent homicide if the driver causes death to another person and the driver is found responsible for violating statutes relating to red lights, stop signs and crosswalks while the driver’s license is revoked, suspended under specific circumstances, or was obtained falsely while the driver was otherwise ineligible for a license.  In addition, the strike everything amendment establishes a class 5 felony under the same conditions if a driver causes serious physical injury to another.

 

History
