The bill would amend the Transportation Code by making the offense of a person involved in a motor vehicle accident failing to stop following the accident if the accident resulted in death or serious bodily injury, punishable as a third degree felony. 

A third degree felony is punishable by imprisonment in the institutional division for any term of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years, or, in addition to confinement, a fine not to exceed $10,000.

For this analysis it is assumed that the number of offenders convicted under this statute would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.
