Action: 2008-04-14 - Governor: Acts of Assembly Chapter text (CHAP0737)

Incident management. Redefines the "scene of any accident" for the purposes of arrest without a warrant. The revised definition includes a reasonable location where a vehicle or person involved in an accident has been moved at the direction of a law-enforcement officer to facilitate the clearing of the highway or to ensure the safety of the motoring public. The bill also removes the limitation that the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident may move the vehicle only "so far as necessary" to prevent obstructing traffic.

Incident management; makes several changes to law in order to increase effectiveness & efficiency.
