What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no operator of a vehicle, after having received a visible or

audible signal to stop his or her vehicle from a traffic officer or marked police vehicle,

shall knowingly resist by failing to stop his or her vehicle or knowingly flee or attempt

to elude any officer so as to interfere with or endanger the operation of the police

vehicle, the traffic officer, other vehicles, or pedestrians.

This bill replaces the reference to “marked police vehicle” with “an authorized

emergency vehicle that the operator knows or reasonably should know is being

operated by a law enforcement officer.”
