This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding local authorities' ability to regulate traffic and vehicle laws. Under the existing law, local authorities are required to adopt ordinances related to traffic control and movement, including parking regulations that impose civil penalties for violations. The bill introduces a new provision that explicitly prohibits local authorities from enacting or enforcing any ordinance or regulation that prohibits "cruising," which is defined as the repetitive driving of a motor vehicle past the same location without a specific destination or purpose within a designated time frame.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that local authorities must still comply with existing traffic regulations while adding this new restriction on cruising. The amendments aim to ensure uniformity in traffic laws across the state while preventing local governments from imposing regulations that could limit cruising activities. Overall, the bill seeks to balance local governance with state-level traffic regulations.
