The proposed Bill No. 6760 aims to strengthen laws related to evasion of police and enhance penalties for various offenses associated with negligent driving and evasion. Key amendments include raising the penalty for negligent homicide with a motor vehicle to a class C or D felony with a mandatory sentence of three to five years. Additionally, the bill proposes to increase the penalties for disobeying an officer's signal to a class A misdemeanor or class E felony, and for engaging in a police pursuit to a class E or D felony if it does not result in serious injury or death.
Furthermore, the bill introduces mandatory sentences for evasion of responsibility, stipulating two years for causing serious injury and five years for causing death. It also raises the penalty for misconduct with a motor vehicle resulting in death to a class C or B felony, with a mandatory sentence of five to ten years, particularly emphasizing the maximum sentence for violations resulting in the death of a police officer. These changes reflect a significant tightening of legal repercussions for actions that endanger public safety and law enforcement personnel.
