HB427 Relating to the use of a high occupancy vehicle lane by an operator of a motor vehicle who is pregnant.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision allowing pregnant drivers to use HOV lanes by counting the fetus as a passenger via the term 'unborn child,' which is a fetal personhood measure that restricts abortion access even though the direct effect is on traffic rules.
