1 any person or damage to any vehicle or other property in an
2 apparent amount of at least $500 shall, within 10 days after
3 the crash, forward a written report of such crash to the
4 department or traffic records center. However, when the
5 investigating officer has made a written report of the crash
6 pursuant to subsection paragraph (3)(a), no written report
7 need be forwarded to the department or traffic records center
8 by the driver.
9 (2) The receiving entity may require any driver of a
10 vehicle involved in a crash of which a written report must be
11 made as provided in this section to file supplemental written
12 reports whenever the original report is insufficient in the
13 opinion of the department and may require witnesses of crashes
14 to render reports to the department.
15 (3)(a) Every law enforcement officer who in the
16 regular course of duty investigates a motor vehicle crash:
17 1. Which crash resulted in death or personal injury
18 shall, within 10 days after completing the investigation,
19 forward a written report of the crash to the department or
20 traffic records center.

1 (b) However, In every case in which a crash report is
2 required by this section and a written report to a law
3 enforcement officer is not prepared, the law enforcement
4 officer shall provide each party involved in the crash a
5 short-form report, prescribed by the state, to be completed by
6 the party. The short-form report must include, but is not
7 limited to:
8 1. The date, time, and location of the crash;
9 2. A description of the vehicles involved;
10 3. The names and addresses of the parties involved;
11 4. The names and addresses of witnesses;

15 respective parties involved in the crash.
16 (c) Each party to the crash shall provide the law
17 enforcement officer with proof of insurance to be included in
18 the crash report. If a law enforcement officer submits a
19 report on the accident, proof of insurance must be provided to
20 the officer by each party involved in the crash. Any party who
21 fails to provide the required information is guilty of an
22 infraction for a nonmoving violation, punishable as provided
23 in chapter 318 unless the officer determines that due to
24 injuries or other special circumstances such insurance
25 information cannot be provided immediately. If the person
26 provides the law enforcement agency, within 24 hours after the
27 crash, proof of insurance that was valid at the time of the
28 crash, the law enforcement agency may void the citation.
29 (4)(a)(b) One or more counties may enter into an
30 agreement with the appropriate state agency to be certified by
31 the agency to have a traffic records center for the purpose of
4
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2006 CS for SB 712

1 tabulating and analyzing countywide traffic crash reports. The
2 agreement must include: certification by the agency that the
3 center has adequate auditing and monitoring mechanisms in
4 place to ensure the quality and accuracy of the data; the time
5 period in which the traffic records center must report crash
6 data to the agency; and the medium in which the traffic
7 records must be submitted to the agency.
8 (b) In the case of a county or multicounty area that
9 has a certified central traffic records center, a law
10 enforcement agency or driver must submit to the center within
11 the time limit prescribed in this section a written report of
12 the crash. A driver who is required to file a crash report
13 must be notified of the proper place to submit the completed
14 report.
15 (c) Fees for copies of public records provided by a
16 certified traffic records center shall be charged and
17 collected as follows:
18 For a crash report.........................$2 per copy.
19 For a homicide report.....................$25 per copy.
20 For a uniform traffic citation..........$0.50 per copy.
21
22 The fees collected for copies of the public records provided
23 by a certified traffic records center shall be used to fund
24 the center or otherwise as designated by the county or
25 counties participating in the center.
26 (5)(a)(c) Crash reports and the uniform traffic
27 citations (HSMV75901) associated with such crashes and crash
28 investigations that required by this section which reveal the
29 identity, home or employment telephone number or home or
30 employment address of, or other personal information
31 concerning the parties involved in the crash and that which

2 receives or prepares information from or concerning the
3 parties to motor vehicle crashes are confidential and exempt
4 from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State
5 Constitution for a period of 60 days after the date the report
6 is filed.
7 (b) Crash However, such reports and citations held by
8 an agency under paragraph (a) may be made immediately
9 available to the parties involved in the crash, their legal
10 representatives, their licensed insurance agents, their
11 insurers or insurers to which they have applied for coverage,
12 persons under contract with such insurers to provide claims or
13 underwriting information, prosecutorial authorities, victim
14 services programs, radio and television stations licensed by
15 the Federal Communications Commission, newspapers qualified to
16 publish legal notices under ss. 50.011 and 50.031, and free
17 newspapers of general circulation, published once a week or
18 more often, available and of interest to the public generally
19 for the dissemination of news. For the purposes of this
20 section, the following products or publications are not
21 newspapers as referred to in this section: those intended
22 primarily for members of a particular profession or
23 occupational group; those with the primary purpose of
24 distributing advertising; and those with the primary purpose
25 of publishing names and other personal identifying information
26 concerning parties to motor vehicle crashes.
27 (c) Any local, state, or federal agency, victim
28 services program, agent, or employee that is authorized to
29 have access to crash such reports and citations by any
30 provision of law shall be granted such access in the
31 furtherance of the agency's statutory duties notwithstanding

1 the provisions of this paragraph. Any local, state, or federal
2 agency, agent, or employee receiving such crash reports shall
3 maintain the confidential and exempt status of those reports
4 and shall not disclose such crash reports to any person or
5 entity.
6 (d) As a condition precedent to accessing a crash
7 report or uniform traffic citation within 60 days after the
8 date the report is filed, a person must present a valid
9 driver's license or other photographic identification, proof
10 of status, or identification that demonstrates his or her
11 qualifications to access that information, and file a written
12 sworn statement with the state or local agency in possession
13 of the information stating that information from a crash
14 report or uniform traffic citation made confidential and
15 exempt by this section will not be used for any commercial
16 solicitation of accident victims, or knowingly disclosed to
17 any third party for the purpose of such solicitation, during
18 the period of time that the information remains confidential
19 and exempt. In lieu of requiring the written sworn statement,
20 an agency may provide crash reports or uniform traffic
21 citations by electronic means to third-party vendors under
22 contract with one or more insurers, but only when such
23 contract states that information from a crash report or
24 uniform traffic citation made confidential and exempt by this
25 section will not be used for any commercial solicitation of
26 accident victims by the vendors, or knowingly disclosed by the
27 vendors to any third party for the purpose of such
28 solicitation, during the period of time that the information
29 remains confidential and exempt, and only when a copy of such
30 contract is furnished to the agency as proof of the vendor's
31 claimed status.

1 (e) This subsection does not prevent the dissemination
2 or publication of news to the general public by any legitimate
3 media entitled to access confidential and exempt information
4 pursuant to this section. A law enforcement officer as defined
5 in s. 943.10(1) may enforce this subsection.
6 (f) This exemption is subject to the Open Government
7 Sunset Review Act of 1995 in accordance with s. 119.15, and
8 shall stand repealed on October 2, 2011 2006, unless reviewed
9 and saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature.
10 (6)(a)(d) Any driver failing to file the written
11 report required under subsection (1) or subsection (2) commits
12 a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving
13 violation as provided in chapter 318.
14 (b) Any employee of a state or local agency in
15 possession of information made confidential and exempt by this
16 section who knowingly discloses such confidential and exempt
17 information to a person not entitled to access such
18 information under this section is guilty of a felony of the
19 third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s.
20 775.083, or s. 775.084.
21 (c)(e) Any person, knowing that he or she is not

26 775.084.
27 (d)(f) Any person who knowingly uses confidential and

585-2172-06
1 (7)(4) Except as specified in this subsection, each
2 crash report made by a person involved in a crash and any
3 statement made by such person to a law enforcement officer for
4 the purpose of completing a crash report required by this
5 section shall be without prejudice to the individual so
6 reporting. No such report or statement shall be used as
7 evidence in any trial, civil or criminal. However, subject to
8 the applicable rules of evidence, a law enforcement officer at
9 a criminal trial may testify as to any statement made to the
10 officer by the person involved in the crash if that person's
11 privilege against self-incrimination is not violated. The
12 results of breath, urine, and blood tests administered as
13 provided in s. 316.1932 or s. 316.1933 are not confidential
14 and shall be admissible into evidence in accordance with the
15 provisions of s. 316.1934(2). Crash reports made by persons
16 involved in crashes shall not be used for commercial
17 solicitation purposes; however, the use of a crash report for
18 purposes of publication in a newspaper or other news
19 periodical or a radio or television broadcast shall not be
20 construed as "commercial purpose."
21 (8) A law enforcement officer, as defined in s.
22 943.10(1), may enforce this section.
23 (5) For purposes of this section, a written report
24 includes a report generated by a law enforcement agency
25 through the use of a computer.
26 (6) Any driver failing to file the written report
27 required under subsection (1) or subsection (2) commits a
28 noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving
29 violation as provided in chapter 318.
30 Section 3. The Legislature finds that there is a
31 public necessity that uniform traffic citations and portions
9
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2006 CS for SB 712
585-2172-06
1 of crash reports which are mandated to be provided by law
2 immediately to certain parties as specified in s. 316.066,
3 Florida Statutes, be held confidential and exempt for 60 days
4 after the date the report or citation is filed to protect the
5 privacy of persons that have been the subject of a motor
6 vehicle crash report. Further, the exemption is necessary to
7 protect the public from unscrupulous individuals who promote
8 the filing of fraudulent insurance claims by obtaining such
9 information immediately after a crash and exploiting a crash
10 victim at a time of emotional distress. The Second Interim
11 Report of the Fifteenth Statewide Grand Jury on insurance
12 fraud related to personal injury protection noted a "strong
13 correlation" between illegal solicitation and the commission
14 of a variety of frauds. The grand jury found "the wholesale
15 availability of these reports is a major contributing factor
16 to this illegal activity and likely the single biggest factor
17 contributing to the high level of illegal solicitation."
18 Virtually anyone involved in a car accident in the state is
19 fair game for "runners" who collect crash reports within the
20 60-day public-records-exemption period under false pretenses
21 from law enforcement officials and then provide the
22 information to solicit crash victims and defraud insurers.
23 Continuing to make this information available, in the words of
24 the grand jury, "can be emotionally, physically, and
25 ultimately financially destructive." The 2003 Senate Select
26 Committee on Automobile Insurance/PIP Reform found that
27 despite reforms enacted in 1998 and 2001, fraud continues to
28 permeate the PIP insurance market in Florida. Referrals to the
29 Division of Insurance Fraud for personal injury protection
30 fraud increased over 400 percent from 2002-2003 to 2004-2005.
31 Motor vehicle insurance fraud is fueled by early access to
10
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2006 CS for SB 712
585-2172-06
1 crash reports and uniform traffic citations, which provides
2 the opportunity for the filing of fraudulent insurance claims.
3 Crash reports and uniform traffic citations made by law
4 enforcement officers should not be used for commercial
5 solicitation purposes. However, the use of a crash report by a
6 victim services program that is qualified for nonprofit status
7 under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has a
8 valid certificate of exemption which was issued to the program
9 by the Department of Revenue and acts as an advocate for the
10 victims and survivors of traffic crashes and their families
11 may not be construed as a "commercial purpose." Such programs
12 act as an advocate for the victims and survivors of traffic
13 crashes and their families by providing services such as grief
14 and crisis counseling, assistance with preparing victim
15 compensation claims excluding third-party legal action,
16 connecting persons with other service providers, and providing
17 emergency financial assistance. The Legislature finds that
18 crash reports should be made immediately available to
19 nonprofit victim services programs. The Legislature also finds
20 that uniform traffic citations should be made immediately
21 available to certain parties, such as those persons involved
22 in the motor vehicle crash and their legal representatives,
23 their insurers or insurers to which they have applied for
24 coverage, their licensed insurance agents, persons under
25 contract with such insurers to provide claims or underwriting
26 information, victim services programs, and representatives of
27 law enforcement agencies and other regulatory agencies, and
28 prosecutorial authorities within 60 days after the crash
29 report is filed.
30 Section 4. Paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section
31 324.051, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

5 of the crash or thereafter by interviewing participants or
6 witnesses, investigates a motor vehicle crash which he or she
7 is required to report pursuant to s. 316.066(3)(a) shall
8 forward a written report of the crash to the department within
9 10 days of completing the investigation. However, when the
10 investigation of a crash will take more than 10 days to
11 complete, a preliminary copy of the crash report shall be
12 forwarded to the department within 10 days of the occurrence
13 of the crash, to be followed by a final report within 10 days
14 after completion of the investigation. The report shall be on
15 a form and contain information consistent with the
16 requirements of s. 316.068.
