Bill > HB2192

This bill updates the role of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) to better identify the causes of roadway fatalities, designating it as a public health authority to collect and analyze health care information related to traffic collisions, including medical records, which will be kept confidential and used for statistical and epidemiological analysis to identify trends and causes of fatalities and serious injuries. The WTSC will convene a fatality review committee, composed of experts, to examine crash data, relevant laws, and other information, and will include members from the Cooper Jones Active Transportation Safety Council (Council) when reviewing fatalities involving pedestrians, bicyclists, or other non-motorists, with the goal of making recommendations to improve road safety and data quality, while ensuring that discussions and documents from these reviews are confidential and generally inadmissible in civil or administrative proceedings to encourage open and thorough analysis.
