By supporting the goals and ideals of "move over" laws, the bill aims to raise awareness about the importance of these laws and encourage compliance among drivers. It emphasizes the need for drivers to be vigilant and cautious when approaching emergency vehicles on the side of the road and to follow the requirements of "move over" laws to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 152 seeks to promote the safety and well-being of emergency responders and other individuals on the road by supporting and advocating for the enforcement of "move over" laws. It underscores the importance of these laws in protecting those who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe and urges drivers to do their part in ensuring their safety.
