           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        169.09, subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 7.  [ACCIDENT REPORT TO COMMISSIONER.] The driver of 
        a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in bodily injury to 
        or death of any person or total property damage to an apparent 
        extent of $500 $1,000 or more, shall forward a written report of 
        the accident to the commissioner of public safety within ten 
        days thereof.  On the required report, the driver shall provide 
        the commissioner with the name and policy number of the insurer 
        providing vehicle liability coverage at the time of the 
        accident.  On determining that the original report of any driver 
        of a vehicle involved in an accident of which report must be 
        made as provided in this section is insufficient, the 
        commissioner of public safety may require the driver to file 
        supplementary reports.
