Bill Summary

Relative to enhanced driver impairment prevention during the incarceration and rehabilitation of drunken drivers. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance driver impairment prevention during the incarceration and rehabilitation of drunken drivers. It proposes to amend the existing law by requiring defendants who are incarcerated to undergo an assessment using a standardized, evidence-based instrument performed by a licensed or certified substance use disorder professional. The assessment would determine whether the defendant has a diagnosis of alcohol dependence and would likely benefit from a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medication-assisted treatment for alcohol dependence.
