Relating to: the threshold for reporting a motor vehicle accident causing property damage.

Summary

The bill changes Wisconsin law so that drivers must report accidents to police only when damage to private property reaches $2,000, up from the previous $1,000 level, while the $200 threshold for government‑owned property stays the same. It also defines “injury” and “total damage” to clarify when a report is required. The change is intended to limit low‑value accident reports and focus law‑enforcement resources on more serious crashes.
