Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 866, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE LANES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to alleviate traffic congestion when law enforcement officers or emergency services personnel close traffic lanes by allowing all motor vehicles, regardless of the number of persons carried in the vehicle, to use a high occupancy vehicle lane or zipper lane in the vicinity of the lane closures.
The Department of Transportation testified in opposition to this bill.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 866, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
