Bill Summary

Relative to chemical analysis of blood in the event of death or bodily harm to another while operating a motor vehicle. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 90, Section 24(f)(1) of the existing law to require individuals who are operating a motor vehicle and cause death or bodily harm to another to consent to chemical analysis of their blood. Previously, this consent was only required if the individual was arrested for operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor. This change aims to expand the circumstances in which chemical analysis of blood can be conducted in the event of a fatal or injurious motor vehicle accident.
