HB 4091

House·20th Congress·Filed Aug 27, 2025

An Act Increasing the Penalties for Criminal Negligence Involving Motor Vehicles, Amending for This Purpose Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code

In plain language

The proposal would raise the jail terms for drivers who, through reckless or grossly negligent behavior, cause death or injury while operating a motor vehicle, and it makes the penalties harsher when certain aggravating factors—such as using a public utility vehicle, being intoxicated, violating traffic rules, or driving a very heavy vehicle—are present.
