Relating to the creation of a criminal offense for operating a motor vehicle under certain circumstances causing a tire of the vehicle to spin, lose traction, or leave the surface of a highway.

SB 2017 would create a new Class C misdemeanor offense for drivers who intentionally accelerate to cause a vehicle tire to spin, lose traction, or leave the highway surface. It specifically prohibits operators from intentionally breaking traction by pressing the accelerator to spin tires or accelerating in a way that makes tires lose contact with the road. This law would directly affect drivers engaging in such deliberate maneuvers, making it a punishable offense starting September 1, 2025. The bill does not address accidental loss of traction or apply to stationary vehicles.
