STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 14593C1 This legislation amends section 49-1305, Idaho Code, to reflect a change which will allow the investigation of a property damage only motor vehicle crash to be reported only if at least $2,000.00 in damage occurs. It is estimated this will reduce many police officer's accident investigation time by 40% to 50% on all property damage only accidents. This will allow law enforcement officers considerably more time to perform other more important duties to protect the citizens of this state. FISCAL NOTE There will be no fiscal impact on the general fund. Contact Name: Representative Rich Wills Phone: 208-332-1000 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/FISCAL NOTE H 208
