AI Summary
This bill amends existing West Virginia law, specifically Erin's Law, to require that in any vehicle crash that results in a death, toxicology tests be performed on the drivers involved as soon as possible. Toxicology tests are used to detect the presence of drugs or alcohol in a person's system, and this provision aims to gather this information in fatal accident investigations.
