Bill Summary
The bill requires coroners to include toxicology results for all deceased parties in required reports regarding motor vehicle crashes resulting in death.
AI Summary
This bill requires coroners, or officials performing similar duties, to electronically report all available toxicology results to the Department of Transportation (DOT) by the end of each quarter for any deceased individuals involved in a motor vehicle crash within their jurisdiction during that quarter. Toxicology results refer to tests performed on bodily fluids, such as blood alcohol concentration and drug screening panels, to detect the presence of substances. If a coroner doesn't have complete toxicology results by the deadline, they must submit the report in the following quarter once the results are available, ensuring the report includes all collected data, including the date, time, and source of sample collection. This change is intended to provide the DOT with more comprehensive data regarding fatal car crashes.
