LD96

Amends Maine's motor vehicles and traffic law to modify the mandatory driver's license suspension for refusing drug or alcohol testing.

This bill amends the Maine motor vehicles and traffic law to change the conditions under which a driver must submit to drug or alcohol testing. It broadens the probable cause to include impairment caused by "a drug" or "drugs" generally, replacing "drug recognition expert" with "law enforcement officer" and modifying the requirements pertaining to the type of test or tests required. The bill also adds a provision clarifying that the Secretary of State is required to immediately suspend the driver's license of a person who fails to submit to and complete a test.
