Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Creates the offense of negligent vehicular homicide, a Class A misdemeanor. Provides that a person commits the offense if the person's negligent operation of a motor vehicle is a proximate cause of the death of another person. Provides that a person acts negligently within the meaning of the provision if he or she fails to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk of death or injury to others, and that failure constitutes a substantial deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise under the circumstances then prevailing. Provides that the finder of fact may consider statutes and ordinances regulating the defendant's conduct in determining whether he or she was culpably negligent.
