Establishes a "yellow alert system" for law enforcement to publicize vehicle information in hit-and-run accidents resulting in death.

The bill amends the executive law to create a "yellow alert system" for law enforcement. When a police officer or agency receives a report of a hit-and-run accident resulting in death, they must promptly dispatch information about the vehicle and suspected operator over the police communication system. This information may also be broadcast to the public, unless it jeopardizes the investigation or safety of a victim. The act takes effect 30 days after becoming law.
