An Act relative to dangerous high speed pursuits

HD 333 creates new penalties for drivers who recklessly evade police during high-speed pursuits. It makes it a crime to refuse to stop for an officer in uniform (displaying a badge) and then operate a vehicle negligently or recklessly in public areas to endanger others, with the intent to avoid arrest. Offenders face up to 5 years in state prison, 2.5 years in jail, or a $2,500 fine. Additionally, a mandatory $250 assessment is added for convicted individuals, with all funds going directly to the Head Injury Treatment Services Trust Fund, and this fee cannot be reduced or waived.
