AN ACT CONCERNING THE INVESTIGATIONS OF PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES.

SB 1224 requires the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to speed up investigations into pedestrian deaths caused by motor vehicles. The bill amends section 19a-409 of the general statutes to mandate that these investigations be completed more quickly. This change directly affects the agency's procedures for handling such cases, ensuring timely processing without altering legal standards for determining cause of death. The policy focuses solely on accelerating the investigation timeline for pedestrian fatalities involving motor vehicles.
