AI Summary

This bill makes various transportation-related policy changes across several areas. It modifies legislative routes by adjusting the descriptions of Route No. 244 and Route No. 246, changing their specific geographic endpoints. The bill updates the definition of "intersection" in traffic law, removing some detailed provisions about divided highways.

The bill updates accident reporting requirements for peace officers, changing the criteria for when an accident must be reported, particularly around medical treatment. In the aviation sector, the bill introduces the concept of "electronic attestation" for aircraft registration, allowing digital submission of ownership and compliance information for various types of aircraft, including collector's aircraft, recreational aircraft, agricultural aircraft, and unmanned aerial systems. This electronic attestation process simplifies registration procedures for different categories of aircraft, requiring owners to submit digital statements about their aircraft's purpose and use, often with a standard annual fee. The changes aim to modernize transportation regulations, streamline administrative processes, and provide more flexible reporting and registration mechanisms.
