Plain-language change summary

The amendments to SB 2596 significantly change how reckless conduct is defined, particularly in relation to vulnerable users of public roads. The new text clarifies and expands the definition to include actions that cause harm or endanger safety while operating a motor vehicle, specifying that this applies to both minor and serious injuries. This change is important because it strengthens protections for pedestrians and cyclists, making it clear that reckless behavior that harms these vulnerable users can lead to serious legal consequences. Overall, the bill aims to enhance road safety and accountability for drivers.
