Senate approves change to rules for approaching vehicles stopped on highway shoulders
Summary
Senate Bill 38, which modifies requirements for vehicles approaching a stopped vehicle occupying the shoulder with warning lights flashing, passed final passage on Jan. 23 by a recorded vote of 32 yays, three excused.
The South Dakota Senate passed Senate Bill 38 on Jan. 23, a measure that modifies legal requirements for drivers approaching vehicles that are stopped or occupying the shoulder of the highway with warning lights flashing.
The item remained on the consent calendar and had no floor debate. After the second reading, the chamber considered the bill for final passage and proceeded to a roll-call vote. The secretary reported 32 yays and three excused; the bill was declared passed and the title deemed correct.
No amendments or committee testimony were discussed on the floor record for the final passage; the measure was described on the consent calendar as modifying the requirements for approaching vehicles stopped or occupying the shoulder when warning lights are flashing.
Because the floor record included no further detail, provisions beyond the bill’s stated purpose were not specified during the Senate session.
