New Jersey S3260 requires drivers involved in fatal accidents to submit to evaluation by a drug recognition expert.

New Jersey S3260 amends the state's implied consent law to include evaluations by a certified drug recognition expert for drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents resulting in death. The bill mandates that drivers submit to such evaluations to determine if they were driving under the influence of drugs. A certified drug recognition expert is defined as a specially trained law enforcement officer who can identify drivers impaired by drugs. Refusal to submit to the evaluation carries penalties similar to those for refusing a breath test in drunk driving cases.
