Hit and run-responsibility and penalties.
HB 111 requires drivers involved in accidents causing serious injury or death to immediately stop at the scene and remain until they fulfill legal requirements. It increases penalties for failing to stop: misdemeanor charges (up to 1 year jail, $5,000 fine) for bodily injury, and felony charges (up to 5 years jail, $50,000 fine) for serious injury or death. The law applies to all motor vehicle accidents occurring on or after July 1, 2025, directly affecting drivers involved in such incidents. The bill clarifies existing duties and strengthens enforcement for hit-and-run violations involving severe harm.
