SB 8
Outcome: passed
AFL-CIO Key Vote: SUPPORT
Protecting Roadside Workers with "Slow Down, Move Over" Law
SB 8 requires drivers to slow down and move over when passing any stopped vehicle displaying hazard lights, flares, or safety cones — not just emergency vehicles. This is a workplace safety issue for tow truck operators, utility workers, truckers, and anyone whose job puts them on the side of the road. Labor supports this commonsense protection that helps keep working Kansans safe on the job.
