Expands implied consent law to include blood testing; establishes per se standard for driving under influence of marijuana and certain controlled.

The bill amends New Jersey's implied consent law to include blood testing for determining the content of any narcotic, hallucinogenic, or habit-producing drug in a person's blood. Refusal to consent to a blood test would result in penalties similar to those for refusing a breath test. Additionally, the bill establishes a per se standard for driving under the influence of marijuana and certain controlled dangerous substances, deeming a person to be under the influence if their blood contains any amount of a Schedule I controlled dangerous substance or its metabolites or analogs, or any amount.
