An Act relative to special regulations for vehicle specific checkpoints
SD 439 bans law enforcement from setting up vehicle safety checkpoints that target specific vehicle types, decorations, or riders. It applies only to general public safety checks for regular drivers, not to commercial vehicles (like trucks carrying goods), public transit, or oversized vehicles. The law explicitly exempts vehicles used as common carriers, construction equipment, or those exceeding standard weight/dimension limits. This policy change prevents selective enforcement while maintaining standard safety checkpoints for all drivers.
