Senate Bill 766 amends the Transportation Code and the Government Code to transfer the powers and duties relating to statistical analysis of and reporting on accident reports from the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The bill also requires TxDOT to provide electronic access to the accident reporting system so that DPS can perform its duties, including the duty to make timely entries on driver records, and provides that the form of all written accident reports must be approved by TxDOT and DPS. The bill requires DPS and TxDOT to enter into a memorandum of understanding regarding implementation not later than September 21, 2007, and makes the transfer effective on October 1, 2007.
