Staff Analysis of the Legislation

HB 767 seeks to amend Article 1 of Chapter 6 of Title 40 of the O.C.G.A. relating to general provisions regarding uniform rules of the road.

The bill revises Code Section 40-6-16 – the “Spencer Pass Law” – in subsections (c) and (d) and in new subsection (e). The term “stationary utility service vehicle” is added to the range of vehicles of which their proceedings are specified within the bill. Violation of subsection (c) shall be punished of a fine of no more than $250.00. The new subsection simply delineates the definitions of “utility service vehicle” and “utility services.”
