This bill mandates that police departments share specific personal and insurance information of motorists involved in a motor vehicle accident with fire departments that respond to the incident. The new legal language inserted into RSA 260:14, VII-a(c) clarifies that the information obtained by law enforcement, which accident participants are required to exchange, must also be provided to fire departments upon request. This addition aims to enhance coordination between police and fire services during emergency responses.
The bill also includes a provision for its effective date, stating that it will take effect 60 days after its passage. The changes made by this bill are intended to improve the efficiency of emergency response efforts by ensuring that fire departments have access to relevant information when they arrive at the scene of an accident.
