Local regulation of driving in flooded areas; penalty. Allows localities to by ordinance prohibit any person from operating a motor vehicle or watercraft on a flooded street in such a manner as to increase the level of floodwaters to a level that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause damage to any real or personal property and creates a Class 4 misdemeanor for a violation of such ordinance. The bill requires a locality to post signs warning of the prohibition and penalties. This prohibition does not apply to law-enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, or operators of Department of Transportation or utility vehicles in the performance of their official duties.

Driving in flooded areas; localities may by ordinance prohibit, exception.
