MINOR
The bill was amended to broaden its scope from penalizing drivers who fail to yield to moving emergency vehicles to penalizing those who fail to move over for any parked, stopped, or standing motor vehicle on the highway shoulder. This change significantly expands the law's applicability to include non-emergency situations, such as disabled cars or construction vehicles, while keeping the fine amounts and penalty structures consistent with the original text.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded from applying only to authorized emergency vehicles to applying to all parked, stopped, or standing motor vehicles on the highway shoulder.
SCOPE
The specific vehicles triggering the penalty were changed from 'authorized emergency vehicles' to 'parked, stopped or standing motor vehicles on the shoulder of a highway'.
REQUIREMENT
The required driver action was updated from 'failure to yield' to 'failure to exercise due care and move over'.
TECHNICAL
The bill title was updated to reflect the new scope, and the legislative history was updated to show the bill was amended and reprinted.
