A03964 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A3964
 
SPONSOR: Colton
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to increasing penalties for leaving the scene of an accident without reporting   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To deter hit and run crashes and increase public safety.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill increases the fine range for a first violation of leaving the scene of a personal injury crash to $750-$1,000, and for a repeat violation to $1,000-$3,000.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): The penalty provisions are modified.   JUSTIFICATION: Leaving the scene of an accident is a very serious offense and should be treated as such. Hit and run accidents are especially dangerous because if someone is hurt and the driver doesn't report it, that person may not get the proper care when they need it. Increasing the fines for such a violation will help to deter these incidents in order to enhance public and traffic safety.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2017-18: A.6164 2015-16: A.4638 2013-14: A.1257 2011-12: A.1171 2009-10: A.1342   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the first of November next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
