Requires blood sample from driver involved in fatal motor vehicle accident.
This bill, known as "Michelle Sous' Law," mandates that a blood sample be obtained from any driver involved in a motor vehicle accident resulting in death. The sample is to determine if the driver was under the influence of drugs. Refusing to submit to the blood test carries penalties similar to those for refusing a breath test in drunk driving cases. The law extends the state's implied consent law to include blood testing.
