Reporting After Fatal Car Crash

The act repeals the requirement for coroners, or other officials performing like functions, to report to the department of transportation (department) deaths resulting from traffic accidents on a monthly basis. The act requires coroners, or other officials performing like functions, to report all available toxicology results to the department for each deceased party who has died as a result of a motor vehicle crash. The report must be submitted by the final business day of each quarter of the calendar year.     If a participant in a crash dies within 30 days as a result of a crash, the act requires the law enforcement officer who was notified of, or investigated, the crash to submit an amended report to the department within five days after receiving a notification of the death.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
