Unlike Committee Amendment "A," which establishes the civil violation of motor 
vehicle violation resulting in death, this amendment retains the language of the bilI, 
which establishes the crime of motor vehicle violation resulting in death. In addition" this 
amendment replaces the title of the bill to clarify that the new crime of motor vehicle 
violation resulting in death established in the bilI applies only if the traffic infraction 
causes the death. 
This amendment also adds an appropriations and allocations section.
