Bill > S07449

This bill requires insurance companies that receive accident reports in New York City (which has a population of one million or more) to provide the city's Department of Transportation with statistical and other relevant information about motor vehicle accidents within the city. The proposed legislation amends the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new section (Section 607) that mandates insurance companies share details about accidents they learn about through their standard reporting processes. By requiring insurers to provide this data, the bill aims to help the city better understand and potentially improve traffic safety by giving transportation officials more comprehensive insights into motor vehicle accidents. The bill would take effect immediately, and authorities are authorized to create any necessary rules or regulations to implement the new requirement in advance of its effective date.
