More than 100 new laws took effect in the state of Kansas yesterday, including a change to the state's move over law.

 The previous version of the “move-over” law required drivers to slow down or move over for emergency vehicles or tow and utility vehicles. That law now requires drivers to slow down and move over when passing any car with hazards or warning signals turned on.

 Recent statistics show a high number of empty vehicles being hit on the side of Kansas roads. KDOT says almost 1,000 have been hit between 2018-2023. Police officials support the measure, saying it will help motorists feel safer when on the roads.

 The fine is $75 if drivers fail to move over or slow down to a safe speed when passing a vehicle on the side of the road.
