What changed in the latest version
8 added · 5 removedPlain-language change summary
The bill has been updated to specifically address "serious physical injury" instead of just "bodily injury" in relation to collisions reported under section 28-667. This change emphasizes more severe cases and may lead to more significant legal or insurance implications for accidents resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. By clarifying this distinction, the legislation aims to better protect individuals affected by major accidents.
