SUMMARY
Unlike Committee Amendment "A," which establishes the civil violation of motor vehicle violation resulting in death, this amendment retains the language of the bill, which establishes the crime of motor vehicle violation resulting in death. In addition, this amendment replaces the title of the bill to clarify that the new crime of motor vehicle violation resulting in death established in the bill applies only if the traffic infraction causes the death.
This amendment also adds an appropriations and allocations section.
