AN ACT CONCERNING FAILURE TO MOVE OVER FOR AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE.

SB 1134 amends Connecticut law to classify failing to move over for an emergency vehicle (like ambulances or police cars) as "per se extreme indifference to human life." This change directly affects drivers who do not yield when required by law, elevating the offense from a standard traffic violation to a more serious legal classification. The bill modifies Section 53a-55 of the general statutes to automatically treat this failure as evidence of extreme indifference, without requiring additional proof. This policy change aims to strengthen legal consequences for drivers who endanger emergency responders.
