The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1224, aims to amend section 19a-409 of the general statutes to require the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to expedite investigations into pedestrian fatalities caused by motor vehicles. This legislative change is intended to streamline the investigative process for such tragic incidents, ensuring that these cases are handled more swiftly and efficiently.

The bill introduces new legal language that mandates the expedited investigations, while there are no deletions from the current law specified in the text. The overall goal of the bill is to enhance the response to pedestrian fatalities, thereby potentially improving public safety and accountability in cases involving motor vehicle-related deaths.
