Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Increases from a Class 4 to a Class 3 felony the penalty for failing to report an accident involving death or personal injuries within the time allowed after failing to stop at the scene as required. Provides that a person who violates any provision regarding leaving the scene of or failing to report an accident is subject to testing for alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds and is subject to statutory summary suspension of his or her drivers license, according to terms similar to those for statutory summary suspensions for driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds.

 Correctional Note (Dept of Corrections)
 HB 4018 contains two provisions related to failing to report an accident involving death or personal injuries. One enhancement that increases the penalty for failing to report an accident involving death or personal injuries from a Class 4 to a Class 3 felony would result in an increase of three inmates with $795,300 in additional costs over the first ten years after enactment. A second enhancement states that a person who leaves the scene of or fails to report an accident can be tested for alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds and is subject to statutory summary suspension of his or her drivers license. There is no corrections population or fiscal impact on the Department associated with this enhancement.
