Bill Summary

Relative to chemical analysis of blood in the event of death or bodily harm to another while operating a motor vehicle. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 90, Section 24(f)(1) of Massachusetts law to require a driver to consent to chemical analysis of their blood if they cause death or bodily harm to another person while operating a motor vehicle. The existing law already requires consent to chemical analysis for drivers arrested for operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor. This additional provision expands the consent requirement to cover situations where a driver causes harm or death to another person, even if the driver is not arrested for OUI.
