Bill Summary
Relativerelative to driving under the influence. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends a section of Massachusetts General Laws related to driving under the influence (DUI) offenses, specifically chapter 90, section 24. The key change is to expand the types of bodily fluids that can be tested for drugs and alcohol in DUI cases. Previously, the law only allowed for testing of breath or blood, but this bill inserts the word "urine" into the statute, meaning that urine samples can now also be used as evidence in DUI investigations and prosecutions. This change aims to provide law enforcement with more options for determining if a driver is impaired by substances.
