Bill Summary
An act to amend Sections 23152 and 23153 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing California Vehicle Code sections related to driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs and alcohol. Specifically, it clarifies the definition of a "valid prescription" for controlled substances, stating that it must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by a practitioner who has examined the patient or a covering practitioner, rather than simply being issued by a licensed healthcare practitioner. This change applies to situations where a person is driving with a drug classified in Schedule I, II, III, or IV of the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act in their system, unless it was consumed under such a valid prescription. The bill also makes conforming changes to sections that address DUIs causing bodily injury.
