A 990 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Restricts access to motor vehicle accident reports under certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill (A990) delays public access to motor vehicle accident reports for 90 days after an accident, with specific exceptions. It directly affects the general public, who must wait 90 days to view reports, while allowing immediate access for: (1) insurers' investigators, (2) vehicle owners/operators/passengers listed on the report, (3) law enforcement investigating insurance fraud, and (4) injured parties (including pedestrians) who provide proper identification and accident details. The bill amends existing law to require law enforcement to make reports available to these exempt groups within 24 hours, while restricting general public access until after the 90-day period. It also clarifies that reports remain non-confidential but subject to this 90-day delay for most citizens.
