Louisiana HB264 establishes procedures for releasing individuals arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired.
Louisiana HB264, known as "Jada's Law," mandates that individuals arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired must undergo a chemical test to determine blood alcohol content and a breath test before being granted safe-release clearance. If a chemical test is unavailable, a safe-release clearance can only be issued if the individual is medically sober and has been held for a minimum of eight hours. The law requires the arresting agency to secure the individual's vehicle to prevent operation by the arrestee before issuing a safe-release clearance.
