What it does

OPERATION IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.231 when in pursuit of a perpetrator of a misdemeanor, in addition to the circumstances allowed under current law. The bill also allows the drivers of official fire department vehicles, police vehicles, rescue vehicles, ambulances, emergency management vehicles, emergency medical services vehicles, and peace officers riding a police bicycle to proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as an emergency vehicle driver may deem reasonable for safe operation in the same or similar circumstances based on information known to the driver at the time, and to exceed the maximum speed limits so long as the driver acts reasonably and in good faith.
