Nebraska LB56 mandates medical facilities and mortuaries to comply with peace officer requests for blood draws from deceased drivers or pedestrians.
Nebraska LB56 amends the law to require medical facilities and mortuaries to comply with requests from peace officers for blood draws from deceased drivers or pedestrians involved in accidents. This applies to drivers who die within four hours of an accident and pedestrians aged sixteen or older who die within four hours of being struck by a vehicle. The bill repeals the original section and mandates that the coroner or other official examine the body and perform necessary tests to determine the amount of alcohol or drugs in the body.
