Maine LD1815 mandates blood tests for drivers involved in accidents causing serious bodily injury or death.
Maine LD1815 requires drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents resulting in serious bodily injury or death to submit to a blood test for drugs. The test results are admissible in court if probable cause exists that the driver was under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident. The Secretary of State must suspend the driver's license for one year if they fail to submit to the test, but the suspension can be removed if the driver proves they were not under the influence of THC or did not cause the accident negligently.
