The bill amends Section 31-1-9 of the General Laws in Chapter 31-1, which pertains to definitions and general code provisions related to mobile equipment. The amendment clarifies the definition of "mobile equipment" to include vehicles that are not primarily designed for transporting persons or property but are used in an active work zone. It defines "incidentally" as actively participating in work within an active work zone or crossing a highway within that zone, while explicitly excluding travel down a highway under their own power. The changes aim to clarify the circumstances under which mobile equipment can operate on public highways, emphasizing that such operation is permitted only in relation to active work in designated zones. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
