Bill Summary
Relative to testing for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 24 (4)(f)(1) of Chapter 90 to prevent the suspension of a driver's license or other sanctions for refusing a test that has not been scientifically proven to indicate a level of personal impairment resulting in the inability to safely operate a motor vehicle. In other words, the bill aims to ensure that any testing used to determine impaired driving is accurate and scientifically valid, rather than allowing licenses to be suspended or drivers sanctioned for refusing tests that do not reliably measure impairment.
