HB 1062 -- Funeral Processions

Sponsor:  Gratz

This bill requires pedestrians and operators of all vehicles to
yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which is part of an
organized funeral procession.  Operators of vehicles in a
funeral procession must yield the right-of-way to an approaching
emergency vehicle or when directed to do so by a law enforcement
officer, follow as closely as is practical and safe, and operate
with lights on.  Toll-free passage will be granted on all toll
bridges, tunnels, and highways.  No person can drive between
vehicles in a properly marked funeral procession, join a
procession to secure right-of-way, or pass vehicles in a
procession except where a passing lane is provided.  Motorcycles
may escort a procession.
