Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill expands the circumstances under which blood tests can be required for drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents, specifically to include situations where an accident results in personal injury or death, in addition to existing provisions related to alcohol. The bill amends Section 24 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, which governs motor vehicle laws, by removing the word "arrested" in several places and inserting language that allows for blood testing not only when a driver is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or liquor, but also when they are involved in any motor vehicle accident or collision that causes personal injury or death. This change aims to broaden the scope of testing to ensure accountability and safety following serious accidents.
