DESCRIPTION

Under this proposal, persons under the age of twenty-one would be deemed to have given consent to testing for blood alcohol content, if the person was stopped by a law enforcement officer on reasonable grounds to believe that the person had been driving a motor vehicle, or committing a traffic violation, had a blood alcohol content of two-hundredths of one percent or more.





DESCRIPTION (continued)

If the person refused the request of the officer to submit to the test, evidence of the refusal would be admissible in certain proceedings. The person would be informed that their license would be immediately revoked. This proposal would require such information to be included in the officer's report.

The proposal contains an emergency clause.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
