This bill amends section 60-6,102 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance the procedures surrounding the examination of deceased individuals involved in motor vehicle accidents. Specifically, it establishes that if a driver or pedestrian aged sixteen or older dies within four hours of such an accident, the coroner or designated official must conduct tests to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs in their system. The results of these tests must be included in reports submitted to the Department of Transportation, which will tabulate this information monthly. Importantly, the identity of the deceased and the test results will be considered public information.

Additionally, the bill mandates that medical facilities and mortuaries must comply with requests from peace officers for blood draws from the deceased individuals described in the bill. This requirement aims to facilitate the collection of evidence in cases involving fatalities from motor vehicle accidents. The original section 60-6,102 is repealed to incorporate these new provisions.
