AI Summary
This bill creates a new offense for leaving the scene of an accident after causing serious bodily injury. Specifically, it amends the existing law to impose penalties of up to 5 years in state prison or 6 months to 2.5 years in jail, plus a fine of $500 to $1,000, for anyone who operates a motor vehicle, collides with or causes injury to another person resulting in serious bodily injury, and then leaves the scene without providing their name, address, and vehicle registration. The term "serious bodily injury" is defined to have the same meaning as in a separate law.
