,administration71 which include law     
enforcement officers1 fire and rescue   
personnel1 emergency medical services   
personnel1 tow truck operators1 and     
transportation workers2 ,whereas many   
traffic incident management responders  
are seriously injured or lose their     
lives while performing their duties each
 year as a result of being struck by    

speeding1 impaired1 or distracted       
motorists and motorists who are not     
aware of move over laws2 ,whereas1 in   
#bjbc1 #de traffic incident management

,responder ,safety ,week annually in    
,november as part of a national effort  
to-- 7#a7 protect traffic incident      
management responders who are at the    
scene of highway crashes2 and  7#b7     
remind the public of their              
responsibility to slow down1 move over1 
and stay alert when driving near        
roadside incidents involving traffic    
incident management responders2 ,whereas
 each ,state has a move over law1 which 
has correlated directly with a safer    
environment along the roadsides of the  

,united ,states for traffic incident    
management responders and stranded      
travelers2 ,whereas move over laws      
generally require motorists to move at  
least #a lane over when there is an     
emergency or rescue activity taking     
place on the shoulder or side of the    
roadway1 or1 if unable to do so safely1 
to slow down and pass the scene with    
caution2 ,whereas the ,government       
,accountability ,office report entitled 
,emergency ,responder ,safety3 ,states  
and ,,dot ,are ,implementing ,actions to
 ,reduce ,roadside ,crashes             
7,,gao-#ba-aff7 noted that ,state       
officials cite raising public awareness 
as the most prevalent challenge to move 
over laws2 and ,whereas providing       
traffic incident management responders  
with an enhanced opportunity to inform  
the motoring public about move over laws
 is critical to the public safety3 ,now1
 therefore1 be it ,that the ,senate--   
7#a7 supports the goals and ideals of a 
,national ,move ,over ,law ,day2 and    

7#b7 urges national1 ,state1 and        
regional incident management            
organizations-- 7,a7 to spread awareness
 and promote the existence of1 and      
adherence to1 ,state move over laws2 and
  7,b7 to educate the public further on 
the dangers and loss of life that occur 
if ,state move over laws are not        
faithfully observed4
