Traffic offenses, drawing of blood in relation to certain traffic offenses further provided for

HB 391 amends existing law concerning blood draws for individuals suspected of driving under the influence (DUI). Currently, law enforcement officers can request qualified medical personnel to draw blood for these cases. This bill would authorize physicians, registered nurses, paramedics, phlebotomists, and other qualified individuals to refuse to draw blood at a law enforcement officer's request, unless a court order is in place. This change directly affects medical professionals involved in blood collection for DUI investigations and impacts law enforcement procedures for obtaining such evidence.
