They pose significant <br />dangers to public safety, contributing to property damage, injuries, and fatalities. Concerned residents <br />have repeatedly reached out to me expressing their frustration and concern regarding the car racing, <br />street takeovers, dangerous driving, etc. Senator Pizzo is sponsoring CS/SB 1764 (Car Racing Penalties) <br />which proposes important amendments to s. 316.191 F.S., aimed at curtailing these coordinated street <br />takeovers and associated dangerous activities. The bill increases fines and penalties for violations, and <br />creates new felony offenses for actions that significantly endanger public safety and emergency <br />response efforts. <br />bring this in front of the commission for support. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />As of February 8, 2024, it has passed three committees and looks to be moving to the floor for a vote. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Resolution <br />Senate Bill 1764 <br />Item Number: 101 <br />263 <br />
