Odds of enactment

Low

How often bills like it became law.

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

Summary

Existing law requires the driver of a motor vehicle who is involved in an accident that results in damage to the property of a person in excess of $1,000, or in death or bodily injury, to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days after the accident, as specified. A violation of these provisions is punishable as an infraction. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
