A House committee Thursday created a bill that would upgrade the charge for drag racing to a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by fines of up to $1,000 and a year in jail - a move they intend to serve as a deterrent to kids who gun their cars down country roads or through marked courses.
It’s already a second-degree misdemeanor to drag race, punishable by fines between $250 and $500 and up to 60 days in county jail. Under the proposal, officials would also seize cars used in drag races.
Anyone charged with drag racing twice in a five-year span would face a third-degree felony, including penalties of up to five years in state prison and maximum fines of up to $5,000.
The bill that cleared the House Public Safety and Crime Prevention Committee specifies two types of drag racing - side-by-side races or time trials around a marked course.
“We have a serious problem out here with our children,” said Rep. Sandra Adams, R-Orlando. “We have a nice country road that people seem to like to race down.”
A similar bill (SB 2472) is already moving through the Senate.

uhhh, this makes no sense. Why would federal legislators be in on this? Stuff like this is dealt with strictly on a state level. Also, just because a bill is introduces, it still has to be passed by the senate and the house, and then signed into law by George W Douche.
