Bill > SB203

This bill amends sections 1547.11, 3701.143, and 4511.19 of the Revised Code to change the laws pertaining to operating a vehicle or watercraft while under the influence of marijuana. The key provisions include: - Establishing specific marijuana concentration levels in a person's urine, blood, or blood serum/plasma that can be used to infer they were under the influence of marijuana. - Allowing the court to admit evidence on a person's marijuana concentration levels without requiring expert testimony in some cases. - Clarifying that the admissibility of marijuana concentration evidence does not affect the admissibility of other evidence related to the analysis of bodily substances under the existing laws. - Making other changes to the OVI (operating a vehicle impaired) laws to account for the new marijuana-related provisions. The bill aims to update Ohio's laws to address issues related to operating vehicles and watercraft under the influence of marijuana, providing prosecutors and courts new tools to address these types of impaired driving cases.
