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 specifies that individuals convicted of violations of pedestrian right-of-way laws will be subject to penalties as enumerated in the schedule of violations for traffic offenses contained in sections 31.41.1-4. The previous provision that set a maximum fine of $75 has been removed. This act aims to align the penalties associated with pedestrian right-of-way violations with existing traffic offense adjudication processes. The changes will take effect immediately upon passage of the bill.
