Montana Legislature considers pair of bills to update road safety laws

HELENA â After several tragic crashes, advocates are urging Montana lawmakers to make changes to the stateâs road safety laws.
The House Transportation Committee held hearings Wednesday afternoon on House Bills 264 and 267. Supporters of both bills see them as responses to serious crashes over the last two years.
HB 264, sponsored by Republican Rep. Ross Fitzgerald of Fairfield, would revise the stateâs laws on passing emergency vehicles.
Currently, drivers have to slow down and move over when passing firefighters, police or ambulances on the road. The bill would add tow trucks to the law, and require drivers to slow down to half the posted speed limit â or to a temporary posted speed if there is one â when passing. It would also create a charge of âreckless endangerment of emergency personnelâ for those who violated the law.
