HB 1514 Sheriffs; reimbursement of expenses incurred in responding to traffic incidents.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Sheriffs; reimbursement of expenses incurred in responding to traffic incidents.  Allows a locality to adopt an ordinance making a person convicted of certain traffic infractions or crimes liable in a separate civil action for reasonable expenses incurred by the sheriff's office of such locality for emergency response to an accident related to the violation.  Current law allows the same for the locality itself and for volunteer rescue squads, but because sheriffs' offices are constitutional offices and not technically departments of the locality, the amendment is needed for clarity. Volunteer fire departments are also added to the provisions.
