Accident reports must include repair costs or a notation of no damage for motor vehicles.

The bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to require accident reports to include the cost or estimated cost of repairs for any motor vehicle damaged in the accident, or a notation if no damage occurred. This information must also be disclosed in reports made by motor vehicle condition reporting agencies. The bill defines "motor vehicle condition reporting agency" as any person who regularly assembles or evaluates motor vehicle maintenance and condition information for reports. The changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
