Pass Camberleigh’s Law - Make Inattentive Driving Prosecutable


Pass Camberleigh’s Law - Make Inattentive Driving Prosecutable
The Issue
My name is Alyssa Burns. My daughter Camberleigh Ann Burns, “Cammie,” was killed on Interstate 71 North in Louisville, Kentucky on October 28, 2022. She was 13 days from turning two years old. The driver was going 75 mph in a 55 mph construction zone. He had two prior speeding convictions, never braked, and a witness predicted the crash seconds before it happened. He was never charged.
Kentucky law currently makes it almost impossible to prosecute inattentive driving as a crime unless prosecutors can prove the driver consciously intended harm in that exact moment — even with a pattern of dangerous behavior, prior record, construction zone, or child victim.
Camberleigh’s Law closes that gap. It creates a new Class B felony — Aggravated Reckless Homicide (10–20 years) — when a driver causes death with:
• At least one Active Conduct Factor (10+ mph over the limit, witnessed aggressive driving, failure to brake, phone use while driving, or obviously dangerous operation), plus
• At least one additional factor (construction zone, prior speeding conviction within 5 years, child under 12, or standstill/slowing traffic).
The prosecution keeps the full burden of proof. It also requires mandatory written review by the Commonwealth’s Attorney within 90 days, and independent Attorney General review for any child fatality where charges are declined.
Please sign and share. For Cammie. For every family this has already happened to. For every family it hasn’t happened to yet.
