What it does

Under current law, the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person, or total property damage to an apparent extent of $1,500 or more, must, within hours after the accident, forward a written report of the accident to the department of transportation (DOT). However, such report is not required when the accident is investigated by a law enforcement agency. This bill increases the total apparent property damage threshold to $5,000.11). The bill does not increase the $1,500 property damage threshold for these reports.
