Revise DUI testing to include oral fluids
House Bill 467 revises existing laws related to driving under the influence (DUI) by expanding the acceptable methods for testing. It directly affects all drivers, including commercial vehicle operators, who are suspected of DUI. The bill specifically adds oral fluid (saliva) tests as a permissible option for law enforcement to determine alcohol or drug concentration. This new testing method is integrated into implied consent provisions for commercial drivers and into the definitions for general and aggravated DUI offenses.
