Summary of Bill A 7032 — Establishes the felony of aggressive driving

Overview

Bill A 7032 would establish a new felony offense described as aggressive driving. The bill’s stated purpose appears to be to address dangerous driving behavior by creating a felony-level crime in this area. The available information does not include the bill’s exact definitions, elements of the offense, or penalties.

What the bill would do (key provisions available)

  • Create a new felony offense labeled “aggressive driving.”
  • The specific elements required to convict (e.g., conduct, circumstances, intent, or aggravating factors) and the associated penalties are not provided in the available summary. The precise language of the statute would determine how aggressive driving is defined and how it would be charged and prosecuted.

Note: Because the text of the bill is not included here, the exact thresholds, qualifiers (e.g., speeding, recklessness, harm to persons or property), and any related penalties or sentencing range remain unknown in this summary.

Who/what would be affected

  • Drivers and individuals who engage in aggressive driving, once defined and charged under the statute.
  • Law enforcement agencies responsible for enforcing traffic safety laws.
  • Prosecutors handling traffic and criminal cases.
  • The courts resolving charges under the new felony offense.
  • The Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent agency) may be involved in licensing/consequences if the bill includes license-related provisions (not specified here).

Legislative status and process

  • Introduced: March 18, 2025.
  • Current status: REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION.
  • Legislative actions recorded on 2025-03-18 show the same referral entry listed twice, which may reflect a clerical duplication rather than two distinct actions.
  • Sponsors:
    • Primary sponsor: Keith Brown
    • Cosponsors: Stephen Hawley, Robert Smullen, Joe DeStefano

Timeline and next steps

  • As a bill referred to the Transportation Committee, it would typically undergo committee review, possible public hearings, and amendments before a committee vote.
  • If approved by the committee, it would proceed through the legislative process (potential floor votes in the chamber and then the other chamber, depending on the legislative rules of the jurisdiction).

Notes for readers

  • The summary reflects the information provided. For a complete understanding, including precise definitions, penalties, exceptions, and effective dates, the full bill text and fiscal notes would be required. If you can share the bill’s text or a link, I can produce a more detailed, provision-by-provision summary.
