Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 4027

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a person who fails to remain at the scene of an accident involving personal injury or death to render aid as required is guilty of a Class 4 felony (rather than a Class A misdemeanor). Shortens from one hour to one-half hour the time in which a person who has failed to remain at the scene of the accident must report the accident at a police station or sheriff's office. Provides that a person who failed to remain at the scene as required and failed to report the accident within one-half hour of its occurrence, or within one-half hour of his or her release from the hospital if he or she had been hospitalized and incapacitated from reporting during the one-half hour after the occurrence, is guilty of a Class 3 (rather than a Class 4) felony if the accident does not result in the death of any person. Deletes language providing that a report made within the one hour time limit may not be used as a basis for a prosecution for failing to remain at the accident scene as required.
