The bill amends Section 31-14-3 of the General Laws concerning speed restrictions for vehicles. It introduces new language that defines "slowing the vehicle" for the purposes of the move over law to mean reducing speed to twenty miles per hour (20 mph) below the posted speed limit. This definition is intended to enhance safety for both drivers and emergency personnel on the road. The bill will take effect upon passage.
