Bill > S07610

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to require police reports of traffic accidents to include insurance information for all parties involved in the accident. Specifically, the bill modifies existing reporting requirements for police and judicial officers when investigating accidents resulting in injury. Under the new provision, these officers must now include details about the insurance policies of each party in their accident reports, in addition to the currently required information such as vehicle types, accident details, and specific vehicle characteristics. This change aims to provide more comprehensive documentation of traffic accidents, which could potentially help with insurance claims and legal processes. The bill will take effect immediately, with a provision that aligns its implementation with a related chapter of laws from 2024. By mandating the inclusion of insurance details, the bill seeks to create more transparent and informative accident documentation that could assist in resolving post-accident administrative and legal matters.
