AI Summary

This bill amends Section 24 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws to require blood testing for survivors of motor vehicle accidents or collisions resulting in personal injury or death. The bill removes the requirement that a person be "arrested" before a blood test can be administered, and expands the situations in which blood testing can be conducted to include any motor vehicle accident or collision resulting in personal injury or death, not just those involving the use of alcohol or drugs.
