SB 1369 - This act specifies that motorcycle operators may overtake and pass vehicles in the same lane occupied by the vehicle being overtaken, or between the lanes of two vehicles being overtaken, so long as the motorcycle is traveling at a speed of not more than 10 miles per hour over the speed of traffic and not more than 25 miles per hour total.

Any motor vehicle operator intentionally impeding motorcycles from being operated as authorized in this act shall be guilty of an infraction.

The Highway Patrol may develop educational guidelines relating to lane filtering in a manner that would ensure the safety of the motorcycle operator and the occupants of surrounding vehicles.

This act is substantially similar to HB 705 (2025), HB 2032 (2024), and HB 1046 (2023).
