Montana House Bill 470 In Effect
This year, Montana's legislators have made important improvements to the state's Move Over Law, which went into effect on October 1, 2023.

The updated law brings some significant changes:
- Clearer Speed Rules: The law now includes specific speed guidelines and language regarding how drivers should slow down when approaching and passing authorized vehicles.
- Utility Workers Included: The law has been expanded to include utility workers, ensuring they receive the same level of protection as other roadside professionals when working along Montana's roadways.
These changes aim to provide a more straightforward understanding of a driver's responsibilities and extend safety measures to utility workers who regularly work alongside Montana's roads.
It's essential to note that fines and penalties for non-compliance with this law remain unchanged, as does the charge of Reckless Endangerment if a driver fails to follow these important safety measures.
