The bill establishes the Move Over Law Study Committee, which will consist of members from both the Senate and House of Representatives, the Director of the Department of Transportation, representatives from the Department of Public Safety, and a towing representative appointed by the Governor. The committee is tasked with conducting a comprehensive study on the efficacy of the existing Move Over Law (A.R.S. ยง 28-775) and determining if further promotion of the law is necessary. Additionally, it will identify resources or policy initiatives to enhance public safety, propose relevant legislation, and make policy recommendations aimed at improving safety for first responders and citizens.
Under the new bill, committee members will not receive compensation, but the Governor's appointee will be eligible for expense reimbursement. The committee is required to submit a report by December 1, 2024, detailing its activities and recommendations. The provisions of this bill will be repealed after September 30, 2025. This represents a formalization of the study committee's structure and responsibilities, which were not previously established in current law.
