AB 2068, as introduced, Nazarian. Vehicles: civil actions: evidence.
Existing law requires that specified accident reports, certain actions taken by the Department of Motor Vehicles, the findings, if any, of the department upon which an action at law is based because of an accident, and specified security required to be filed under the Vehicle Code, not be referred to in any way, or be evidence of the negligence or due care of any party, at the trial of any action at law to recover damages.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
