Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would temporarily block the public release of police citation reports from car crashes where officers suspect drugs or alcohol were involved. The reports would remain private until the law enforcement agency receives the results of any drug or alcohol testing. This is intended to prevent preliminary information from being made public before key evidence is available. Who it may affect: drivers involved in accidents, journalists and others who request public records, and law enforcement agencies.
