Bill Analysis

HB 3950 would update the process of reporting information related to motor vehicle accidents. The bill would repeal certain reporting requirements for people involved in incidents not investigated by law enforcement. The bill would also require law enforcement agencies to submit accident reports electronically rather than on paper.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill supports individual liberty and limited government by repealing unnecessary reporting requirements for minor incidents. It would also likely save money and make accident reporting by law enforcement agencies to TxDot more efficient by moving to an electronic reporting system. We support this legislation.
