Overview
This bill expands New Jersey’s implied consent law to include blood testing for determining whether a driver has been impaired by marijuana or certain controlled dangerous substances. It establishes a ‘per se’ standard, meaning a positive test automatically constitutes driving under the influence. The bill also allows individuals to request their own blood tests and outlines procedures for police officers to follow when obtaining samples and informing drivers of their rights.
