                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3393

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to leaving the scene of an incident without reporting

 PURPOSE :

This bill amends subdivisions 1 and 2 of Section 600 of the vehicle
and traffic law (VTL) in relation to leaving the scene of an incident
without reporting to include operating a vehicle while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Modifies the crime of leaving the scene of an incident without
reporting when a driver is intoxicated by creating a duty to
investigate when a driver knows or has reason to know that he or she
has collided with anything. An intoxicated driver is presumed to know
or have reason to know that he or she has made contact with a person
or property.

 EXISTING LAW :

Current law states that a person must knowingly, or have reason to
know that he or she caused personal injury or property damage to be
guilty of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Too often drunk drivers flee the scene of an accident to avoid being
accountable for their actions. In some cases, they leave seriously
injured or dying victims at the scene of impact. Current law requires
that a prosecutor prove that a drunk driver knowingly or had cause to
know that they caused personal injury or property damage. This law
modifies that statute so that drivers illegally operating their
vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol are held responsible
when leaving the scene of an accident.

In a recent Erie County criminal case, 18-year-old Alix Rice, while
riding her longboard, was killed by a drunk driver who fled the scene
of the crime. The defendant argued that he was not aware he had hit a
person and his defense team was successful in getting him acquitted on
the felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident. Meanwhile, the
defendant was convicted of operating a vehicle while under the
influence of alcohol.

Drunk drivers are already in violation of the law when operating a
motor vehicle. Additionally, their perception and awareness are
compromised. Because of these factors, the burden should not fall on
the prosecution to prove an intoxicated driver's knowledge of causing,
damage to property or injuring other people. Instead, an intoxicated
driver should be held fully accountable whenever an accident occurs.
This bill will presume that an intoxicated driver knew or had reason
to know that damage or injury has occurred and should have stopped to
investigate.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
