An Act relative to accurate impairment testing
This bill prevents license suspensions or other penalties for drivers who refuse a chemical test that hasn't been scientifically proven to measure impairment affecting safe driving. It directly affects drivers who decline roadside testing, ensuring sanctions only apply to tests meeting a scientific standard. The key provision amends existing law to require that any test used for impairment determination must be validated to indicate actual inability to drive safely. This change focuses on the validity of the testing method, not the driver's behavior or results.
