Increases penalty for leaving scene of an accident without reporting to class E felony

This bill (S 4185) changes penalties for drivers who flee an accident scene without reporting. It reclassifies the basic offense - leaving without exchanging information or reporting - as a class E felony (previously a misdemeanor), with fines of $1,000-$2,500. If the accident causes serious injury, it becomes a class E felony ($1,000-$5,000 fine); if it causes death, it becomes a class D felony ($2,000-$5,000 fine). The bill directly affects drivers who fail to stop and report after collisions, increasing penalties for this specific behavior.
