MN HF1335

Replaces the term "accident" with "collision" throughout Minnesota Statutes section 169.09 (traffic regulations) and section 609.21 (criminal vehicular homicide).

Clarifies that drivers involved in collisions must immediately stop and reasonably investigate what was struck, rather than only stopping if there is demonstrable injury or death.

Requires drivers to remain at collision scenes only if they know or have reason to know the collision resulted in injury, death, or damage to an attended vehicle.

Adds two new misdemeanor penalties: for violating subdivision 2 (attended vehicle damage) and subdivision 4 (unattended vehicle damage).

Adds subdivision 19 clarifying that all provisions apply equally whether the term "accident" or "collision" is used.
