The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6715, aims to amend current statutes to prohibit individuals from possessing open alcoholic beverage containers within the passenger area of a motor vehicle while it is on any highway in the state. This legislative change is intended to enhance road safety and ensure compliance with federal regulations, which could maximize federal highway construction funds.

The bill introduces new legal language stating that "no person shall possess an open alcoholic beverage container within the passenger area of a motor vehicle while such motor vehicle is on any highway in this state." There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text provided. The overall goal of the bill is to reduce the risks associated with open alcohol consumption in vehicles and to align state laws with federal standards.
