West Virginia House Bill 4379 (Prior Session Legislation)

---

Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 1-0)
Status: Introduced on February 5 2010 - 25% progression, died in committee
Action: 2010-02-05 - To House Roads and Transportation
Pending: House Roads & Transportation Committee

The purpose of this bill is to update the terms and procedures for the notification after traffic crashes and completion of the required reports by investigating law-enforcement officers. Crash reports are now sent to the Division of Highways, not the Division of Motor Vehicles. The word "accident" is replaced by the word "crash". Research in highway safety now reflects that "crash" is the term of art to describe motor vehicle collisions and is used in most states and encompasses a wider range of potential causes for vehicular crashes than does the term accident.

Relating to reporting crashes to a law enforcement agency
