Introduced by: Thomas K. Norment, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Crimes; maiming of another resulting from operating a watercraft while intoxicated; penalty. Makes it a Class 6 felony to operate a watercraft while intoxicated in violation of § 29.1-738 or any local ordinance substantially similar in a manner so gross, wanton, and culpable as to show reckless disregard for human life, and to unintentionally cause the serious bodily injury of another person resulting in permanent and significant physical impairment. The bill also adds statutes dealing with boating while intoxicated to the statute that allows written reports of blood alcohol tests conducted upon persons receiving medical treatment in a hospital or emergency room to be admissible in evidence as a business records exception to the hearsay rule in prosecutions for DUI. This bill is identical to HB 2978.
