Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, no person may drive a vehicle over an unprotected fire hose
that is laid down to be used at any fire or alarm of fire emergency. A person who does
so may be required to forfeit not less than $20 nor more than $40 for the first offense
and not less than $50 nor more than $100 for a second or subsequent violation within
one year.
This bill prohibits a person from driving a vehicle over an unprotected fire hose
that is laid down to be used at any training exercise, scene of an emergency, or alarm
of emergency. The same penalties apply to a person who violates this prohibition.
