Overview
This bill changes how California reports crash data. Currently, the California Highway Patrol provides forms to law enforcement agencies for accident reports. This bill eliminates those forms and requires the CHP to develop electronic submission standards by 2030. It also updates reporting procedures for coroners, police departments, and the CHP, moving towards electronic submissions and streamlining the process. Finally, it makes crash investigation reports available to the public at no cost.
Key provisions
- Requires the California Highway Patrol to develop minimum requirements for electronic submission of crash investigation reports by January 1, 2030.
- Eliminates the requirement for law enforcement agencies to forward accident reports to the CHP in a specific timeline.
- Requires coroners and medical examiners to submit death reports electronically.
- Makes electronic copies of crash investigation reports available to the public at no cost.
- Updates Section 2407 of the Vehicle Code to reflect these changes.
- Amends Section 20011 to require electronic reporting of death reports.
- Amends Section 20014 to ensure accessibility of accident reports to relevant departments.
- Includes a provision to adjust speed limits in designated ‘safety corridors’.
