Requires police notification when driver's license is suspended.
S 487 requires police to forward fatal accident investigation reports to New Jersey's driver's license authority within 72 hours of the crash. This affects police departments (who must submit reports) and drivers involved in fatal accidents (who may face license suspension based on these reports). The key mechanism is a mandatory 72-hour deadline for submitting accident reports after a death occurs, replacing current timelines. The bill aims to streamline the process for reviewing license suspensions following deadly collisions. (Introduced January 9, 2024; pending committee review.)
