NC S29

Increases penalties for violating the Move Over Law: violations causing property damage exceeding $500 or injury to emergency personnel become Class 1 misdemeanors, and violations causing serious injury or death become Class F felonies (previously Class I).

Allows judges to suspend driver's licenses for up to six months for those convicted of causing serious injury or death, with possible limited driving privileges during suspension.

Defines "public service vehicle" to include wreckers, utility service vehicles, refuse collection vehicles, and highway maintenance vehicles operating amber flashing lights.

Establishes that violation of Move Over provisions constitutes negligence per se and standardizes the base infraction penalty at $250.

Restricts amber flashing light use on moving vehicles to specific conditions including emergency response, oversize loads exceeding 102 inches, slow-moving service vehicles, and gubernatorial emergencies.

Becomes effective December 1, 2019 for offenses committed on or after that date.
