SRES 913 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day.

This resolution supports designating a National Move Over Law Day to raise public awareness about move over laws. These laws require drivers to move over a lane or slow down when passing emergency vehicles or roadside incidents, which helps protect traffic responders (like police and EMTs) who are often struck while working. The resolution urges organizations to promote these laws and educate the public on their importance, following a 2023 report showing 45 responders were killed in roadside collisions. It does not create new legal requirements but focuses on increasing public compliance through awareness.
