Introduced on January 25, 2017 State Expenditure This bill requires the driver of a motor vehicle to yield the right of way by making a lane change, slowing the vehicle, proceeding at a safe speed, or preparing to stop upon approaching a vehicle stopped for the sole purpose of collecting solid waste or recovered materials as provided in Section 56-5-2510(C). A person who is adjudicated to be in violation of the provisions of this section must be fined no more than $25, no part of which may be suspended. Court costs, assessments, or surcharges may not be assessed. A person may not be fined more than $50 for any one incident of one or more violations of the provisions of this bill. A violation of this bill does not constitute a criminal offense. Additionally, violations of this bill may not be included in the motor vehicle offender’s records maintained by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), included in criminal records maintained by the State Law Enforcement Division, or reported to the motor vehicle offender’s insurer. During the first 180 days after this effective date, section’s law enforcement officers must issue only warnings for violations of this section. This bill takes effect upon approval by the Governor. The expenditure impact of this bill is pending, contingent upon a response from DMV. State Revenue This bill imposes a $25 fine for individuals who fail to yield the right of way upon approaching a vehicle stopped for the sole purpose of collecting solid waste or recovered materials. Existing law distributes revenue generated from fines among the general fund, specified state agencies and programs, and local governments. Data is not available to estimate the number of fines that may result from this bill. However, we expect the increase in revenue to the general fund and other funds as a result of this bill will be minimal. Local Expenditure This bill imposes a $25 fine for individuals who fail to yield the right of way upon approaching a vehicle stopped for the sole purpose of collecting solid waste or recovered materials. Existing law distributes revenue generated from fines among the general fund, specified state agencies and programs, and local governments. Data is not available to determine the number of offenses that may result from this bill. However, we expect that any increase in expenses for local law enforcement agencies could be managed within existing appropriations.
