An Act To Require A Blood Test For Drugs For Drivers Involved In A Motor Vehicle Accident That Results In Serious Bodily Injury Or Death

This bill requires drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents resulting in serious bodily injury or death to submit to a blood test for drugs (including THC) if police have probable cause to believe the driver was under the influence. It allows test results to be used in court only if a judge confirms probable cause existed independently of the test. Drivers who refuse the test face a one-year license suspension, but this penalty can be lifted if they prove they weren't under the influence or didn't negligently cause the accident. The law directly affects drivers in severe crash cases and modifies existing procedures for drug-impaired driving investigations.
