Bill overview
This bill requires drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents that result in death to submit to an evaluation by a certified drug recognition expert. Currently, implied consent laws only apply to alcohol testing. This legislation expands those rights to include drug evaluations, aiming to identify impairment due to narcotics, hallucinogens, or other drugs. It also outlines penalties for refusing such evaluations, including potential license revocation and fines.
