Pedestrians; drivers to stop when crossing highway, etc., penalty.

The bill format changed from a proposed substitute amendment to an enrolled act, indicating it has been approved and is now law.

The penalty provision for striking a vulnerable road user was refined to explicitly state that the offense becomes a Class 1 misdemeanor only if the incident results in serious bodily injury or death, whereas the original draft did not specify these consequences in the same way.

The definition of a vulnerable road user was updated to include 'death' alongside 'serious bodily injury' as the threshold for the enhanced misdemeanor penalty.

Added a new section (46.2-816.2) that defines a specific crime for striking a vulnerable road user in a crosswalk resulting in serious bodily injury.

Established that striking a vulnerable road user in a crosswalk is a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Changed the bill's status from 'Introduced' to 'Offered for Consideration' and updated the title to reflect the new substitute version.
