This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law prohibits driving certain vehicles, including a schoolbus transporting school pupils or a vehicle transporting explosives, upon a highway at a speed in excess of 55 miles per hour. Existing law imposes specified other restrictions on those vehicles, including a requirement that those vehicles be driven at a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear of any other of those vehicles preceding them when being driven outside of a business or residential district. This bill would remove the prohibition on driving those vehicles at a speed in excess of 55 miles per hour and would make other conforming changes.
