SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Blood alcohol test admissibility. Provides that a blood alcohol test is admissible in a prosecution for driving under the influence if that test was taken in an emergency room at the request of and for use by the emergency room physician for the purpose of assisting in diagnosis and treatment. Such a test would be admissible as a hospital business record. Physician-patient confidentiality regarding the test is negated, and civil immunity is provided to anyone who offers testimony pursuant to the blood test.
