Generally revise traffic laws regarding evading or fleeing a peace officer

This bill revises Montana's traffic laws regarding fleeing from or eluding a peace officer by clarifying penalties and reorganizing provisions within Title 61, Chapter 8. It establishes three tiers of offenses: a standard misdemeanor for refusing to stop after being signaled by a uniformed officer, a felony for repeat offenders or those who exhibit reckless driving, cause significant property damage, or leave the state, and a more severe felony for incidents resulting in serious bodily injury or death. The law applies to drivers who knowingly fail to obey visual or audible signals from police vehicles, including those who increase speed, continue driving above the limit, or extinguish their lights to evade an officer. Penalties range from up to one year in jail and a $2,000 fine for basic violations to up to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine for aggravated cases involving injury or death.
