A bid to strip state lawmakers of their ability to avoid traffic citations during the legislative session has fizzled.
Rep. Quang Nguyen managed to get his proposal to send the issue to voters out of the House earlier this month on a bipartisan 37-20 margin. That sent the Prescott Valley Republican’s HCR 2053 to the Senate.
There, Senate President Warren Petersen assigned the bill to the Public Safety Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Kevin Payne.
