Blood testing required for civilians following shootings resulting in injury or death.

The bill mandates blood testing for civilians who discharge a firearm in Florida, resulting in injury or death. The test, to be administered within two hours, determines alcohol content and presence of controlled substances. Results are part of the investigative record, disclosed per legal restrictions. Refusal to test waives self-defense claims. The Department of Law Enforcement must submit an annual report to state officials, including incident numbers, test results, and recommendations for firearm safety.
