Drugs, Prescription - As enacted, authorizes a law enforcement officer to cause to be administered a blood or urine test on a person for the presence of a psychotropic drug if such officer has probable cause to believe that the person committed a mass shooting and the person consents to such test; clarifies that if the person is a minor, then a parent or legal guardian must consent; directs the health science center to study the drug interactions between any drugs found in the person's blood or urine. - Amends TCA Title 38; Title 40; Title 53; Title 63 and Title 68.
HB 2013 requires law enforcement officers to arrange for blood or urine testing of psychotropic drugs at a hospital when they have probable cause to believe a person committed a "mass shooting" (defined as causing injury to four or more people or attempting to kill four or more). The law mandates hospitals to collect samples via qualified medical personnel (like doctors or nurses) and send them to the health science center for analysis. The health science center must study drug interactions from the samples and include findings in quarterly reports to lawmakers. This applies to mass shootings occurring on or after July 1, 2026.
