CRIME/PUNISHMENT: Increases the penalties for the crimes of vehicular negligent injuring and first degree vehicular negligent injuring. (8/1/24) (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

SB 401 increases the penalties for the crimes of vehicular negligent injuring and first-degree vehicular negligent injuring. The bill achieves this by updating specific citation numbers in the state code to reflect the new, stricter punishments. These changes directly affect individuals charged with these traffic-related offenses, as they will now face higher legal consequences for the same actions. The legislation does not alter the definition of the crimes themselves but rather adjusts the severity of the punishment associated with them.
