CS for CS for SB 102 - Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act

• Establishes the "Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act" and redefines leaving the scene of a crash as a second-degree felony when serious bodily injury results (increased from third-degree) and first-degree felony when death results, with mandatory minimum 4-year imprisonment for fatal crashes.

• Defines "serious bodily injury" as physical condition creating substantial risk of death, serious disfigurement, or protracted loss/impairment of bodily function, and creates new category of "vulnerable road users" including pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and operators of farm equipment, skateboards, and wheelchairs.

• Requires mandatory 3-year driver license revocation for convictions involving injury, serious bodily injury, or death, with reinstatement contingent on completion of victim impact panel or department-approved driver improvement course addressing vulnerable road users' rights.

• Establishes that crash-leaving offenses involving vulnerable road users are ranked one level above standard offense severity for sentencing purposes and allows defendants to petition for departure from mandatory minimums only in non-DUI cases based on clear injustice findings.

• Requires courts to order restitution to victims and mandates 120 community service hours in trauma centers for persons whose traffic violations cause death; effective July 1, 2014.
