Bill Summary
CONCERNING A REPORT AFTER MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES RESULTING IN DEATH.
AI Summary
This bill requires coroners or other officials performing similar duties to electronically report all available toxicology results to the Department of Transportation (CDOT) by the end of each calendar quarter for any deceased party involved in a motor vehicle crash within their jurisdiction, upon CDOT's request. If toxicology results are not immediately available, the report must be submitted in the following quarter once complete, and it must include details like blood alcohol concentration, drug screening results, and sample collection information, with CDOT only allowed to request personally identifying information necessary for federal reporting. Additionally, the bill clarifies that if a crash participant dies within thirty days of injuries sustained in the crash, the law enforcement officer who investigated the crash must submit an amended report to the department within five days of being notified of the death, and it also updates terminology to consistently use "crash" instead of "accident" in reporting requirements.
