Introduced by: William J. Howell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Blood alcohol tests; restricted license. Provides that if a person arrested for DUI is unable to go before the magistrate due to the need for medical treatment, the arresting officer may certify the person's refusal to take a blood or breath test. The bill provides that in lieu of securing a warrant, the arresting officer may issue a summons on the premises of the medical facility for refusal to submit to a test. The warrant or summons will charge the person with a violation of subsection A of 18.2-268.3 rather than with a violation of 18.2-268.2 as under current law. The bill also compiles all options for restricted driver's licenses for various traffic and drug offenses into one section of the Code of Virginia and adds a provision for the medically necessary transportation of an elderly parent with a serious medical condition. This bill incorporates HB 1850.
