SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Disregarding signal to stop; death of law-enforcement officer; penalties. Provides that if a law-enforcement officer pursues a person who has disregarded a law-enforcement officer's signal to stop his motor vehicle and drives in willful and wanton disregard of such signal so as to interfere with or endanger the operation of the law-enforcement vehicle or to endanger people and the law-enforcement officer is killed as a direct and proximate result of the pursuit, the person is guilty of a Class 4 felony. The bill also increases the penalty for disregarding a signal from a law-enforcement officer to stop or attempting to escape or elude a law-enforcement officer from a Class 3 misdemeanor to a Class 2 misdemeanor. This bill is identical to HB 113 (Ware, R.L.).
