AN ACT CONCERNING THE UNIFORM INVESTIGATION OF ACCIDENT REPORT AND CERTAIN REPORTS BY PEACE OFFICERS.

SB 1493 requires peace officers to prepare a report and provide a copy upon request when a person under their custody or in direct contact experiences an emergency medical condition or is medically unstable. It mandates officers to immediately request emergency medical services in such cases, unless they reasonably determine the situation isn’t urgent and the person was recently cleared by a medical professional. The bill also directs the Transportation Commissioner to study aligning accident report standards with federal guidelines, with a report due by July 2026. This affects police officers and individuals interacting with them during medical crises, with no anticipated fiscal impact on state or municipal agencies.
