The bill amends Section 31-17-5.1 of the General Laws in Chapter 31-17, which pertains to the right-of-way for pedestrians. It introduces new legal language that establishes penalties for violations of pedestrian right-of-way laws, specifically referencing the fines enumerated in Section 31-41.1-4. The previous provision that mandated a maximum fine of $75.00 for such violations has been removed. This legislative change aims to align the penalties for pedestrian right-of-way violations with the existing schedule of violations for traffic offenses. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
