SACRAMENTO - Senator Curren Price (D- Los Angeles) and Assemblymember Steve Fox (D-Palmdale) introduced legislation that will ensure law enforcement personnel can notify next-of-kin quickly in the event of a traffic incident in which victims are incapacitated.  Often, it can take days for family members to learn their loved one was killed or seriously injured in a crash.  The California Motor Vehicle Emergency Contact Locator Act of 2013 will solve this problem.

“Many times, a family’s only indication that something bad happened is the fact that the loved one did not arrive at home when they were expected,” said Fox. “Senator Price and I believe our legislative solution will create a low-cost, efficient, and immediate way for law enforcement personnel to find and inform families about their loved ones.”
