Summary

This resolution supports the goals and ideals of a National Move Over Law Day, recognizing the vital work of traffic incident management responders , including law enforcement, fire, EMS, tow truck operators, and transportation workers. These responders face significant risks, with many seriously injured or killed annually due to motorists who are speeding, impaired, distracted, or unaware of move over laws. The resolution highlights that every state has a move over law , which generally requires motorists to move at least one lane over or slow down when approaching emergency or rescue activities. These laws are crucial for creating a safer environment for both responders and stranded travelers. The Senate urges national, state, and regional incident management organizations to actively spread awareness, promote adherence to these laws, and educate the public on the dangers of non-compliance.
