Relates to the statute of limitations for leaving the scene of an accident which resulted in the death of another person
This bill, known as "Pete's Law," removes the time limit for prosecuting drivers who flee the scene of an accident that results in a death. Under current rules, legal action must be taken within a specific period, but this change allows authorities to initiate charges at any time, regardless of how much time has passed since the incident. The law specifically targets hit-and-run cases involving fatalities and does not apply to accidents where no one dies. It will not take effect immediately but will begin 120 days after it is officially signed into law.
