Drug and alcohol tests in fatal crashes

Beginning July 1, 2025, in every fatal motor-vehicle crash, the coroner or other public official must have a blood sample drawn from each person who died. A licensed lab must test for alcohol and for commonly misused drugs, as the coroner decides. The old 8-hour draw rule is removed. Results are public records and must be sent to the Department of Public Safety as soon as the findings are received.

Faster electronic crash reports and sharing

Beginning July 1, 2025, police must file crash reports through the Department of Public Safety’s electronic system within 10 days after the crash, or within 10 days after any related death. The Department keeps this data in a single statewide electronic repository with the Department of Transportation. The Department must send a copy of each crash report to the DMV as soon as possible, and give the DMV any other required details missing from the report so the DMV can decide if a security deposit is required. The Department also creates a standard crash-report form that asks for detailed facts about the crash, people, vehicles, and insurance, including the insurer, policy number, and coverage dates.
