Bill > SB072

This bill amends Colorado law to specifically include causing the death of another person with a motor vehicle as a form of criminally negligent homicide, which is a class 5 felony, and clarifies that this applies when a person operates a motor vehicle with criminal negligence and that conduct is the direct cause of death. It also mandates the revocation of a driver's license for convictions related to vehicular homicide or criminally negligent homicide while operating a motor vehicle, and includes such offenses in the definition of habitual offenders, which can lead to further license suspension. Additionally, the bill allows for involuntary blood tests in cases of suspected criminally negligent homicide or vehicular homicide while operating a motor vehicle, and permits law enforcement to physically restrain a person to obtain a blood sample if they refuse testing in such serious circumstances.
