Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation makes it illegal for a law enforcement officer or employee to release or sell information about people involved in a vehicle collision for personal financial gain. Law enforcement agencies would still be required to release motor vehicle accident reports in accordance with the open records law. This bill also requires news media organizations to wait 60 days to access accident reports. The name, street address, telephone number and driver's license numbers of the drivers must be redacted before turning the accident reports over to the news media.
