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 mandates that in cases where a driver or pedestrian aged sixteen or older dies within four hours of 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 bill stipulates that this data, including the identity of the deceased and the test results, will be considered public information.

Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for medical facilities and mortuaries to comply with requests from peace officers for blood draws from the deceased individuals described in the legislation. This provision aims to ensure that law enforcement can obtain necessary evidence in a timely manner to support investigations into motor vehicle accidents. The original section 60-6,102 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
