A sweeping measure that would deal with a host of motor vehicle offenses, including refusal to submit to a blood test for drunk driving, is awaiting a vote from the House Judiciary Committee.
The main provisions in House Bill 1135 actually deal with motor vehicle offenses committed by commercial drivers. But the bill’s broad title, on offenses related to operating a motor vehicle, gave the sponsors latitude to include other issues.
Reps. Marc Snyder, D-Manitou Springs, and Matt Soper, R-Delta, attempted to address several roadway problems with the measure, which a committee reviewed — but took no action — on Tuesday.
