Description
Eluding police; penalties. Provides that if a person is killed, whether as the direct or indirect result of the actions of a driver who has disregarded a law-enforcement officer's signal to stop his motor vehicle and who operates his motor vehicle in a willful and wanton disregard of such signal so as to interfere with or endanger the operation of the law-enforcement vehicle or endanger a person, the driver is guilty of a Class 4 felony. The bill also raises from Class 3 to Class 1 the misdemeanor penalty for eluding police. The bill does not change the existing Class 6 felony imposed when the eluding endangers a person or interferes with or endangers the operation of the law-enforcement vehicle. Read the Bill »
