Representatives Ginal and Tyler came to the table to present House Bill 16-1319. This bill prohibits the practice of "coal rolling," defined as the purposeful release of high quantities of emissions from an exhaust system in a diesel-powered vehicle into the air and onto roadways in order to harass another vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian, or to obstruct or obscure the view of another driver, roadway user, or a traffic control device. Under the bill, coal rolling is a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense punishable by a fine of $150 to $300, between 10 and 90 days in jail, or both. A violator is also subject to three points assessed against his or her driving record. Amendment L.003 (Attachment A) was distributed to the committee. Representatives Ginal and Tyler responded to questions from the committee.
