DESCRIPTION

This proposal would define the rights of funeral processions and the
obligations of those responsible for them. Pedestrians and operators of
vehicles would be required to yield to a funeral  procession, with exceptions
for emergency vehicles and law enforcement.  The Department of Revenue would
be required to publish the motorist's responsibilities in its driver's
handbook.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
