This bill would prevent uniform citation reports from motor vehicle accidents from being released to the public when law enforcement suspects drugs or alcohol were involved, until test results come back. The goal is to keep potentially incomplete or unverified information private while an investigation is still pending. Who it may affect: people involved in motor vehicle accidents, members of the public or press seeking accident records, and law enforcement agencies.
