Introduced Version, Senate Bill 0154 – This bill kind of suffers from some double negatives, but if I read it correctly, the open container provisions do not apply:
1. to a person in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle designed, maintained, or used primarily for compensation (as long as the person isn’t the driver);
2. to a person in the living quarters of a house coach or trailer (not the driver).
3. where the container is in a locked glove compartment.
4. where the container is in the truck bed (or area behind the last seat in an vehicle not equipped with a trunk.)
Expands the open container provisions to vehicles in the right of way of a public highway even when not in operation.
