Indiana HB1207 requires law enforcement to offer chemical tests to drivers involved in fatal accidents.
Indiana HB1207 amends the state's motor vehicle laws to mandate that law enforcement officers offer chemical tests to individuals they reasonably believe operated a vehicle involved in a fatal accident. The bill specifies that officers must provide these tests regardless of whether the preliminary breath test indicates alcohol presence. It also allows officers to administer more than one test, provided all chemical tests occur within three hours of the accident. The law does not require testing for unconscious individuals.
