CSHB 268(JUD)-OVERTAKING/PASSING STATIONARY VEHICLES
8:52:13 AM
CHAIR RALPH SEEKINS announced HB 268 to be up for consideration.
REPRESENTATIVE JAY RAMRAS introduced HB 268. He asserted tow
truck drivers should be offered the same courtesy as emergency
service vehicles. The public relies on the tow truck community
to serve stranded motorists therefore providing for safer roads.
Once a week in America a tow truck driver is killed.

SENATOR HOLLIS FRENCH asked whether violation of the law would

which would be a different situation.

in traffic flow.

SENATOR GENE THERRIAULT moved CSHB 268(JUD) from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There
being no objection, the motion carried.
