An Act To Amend The Motor Vehicles And Traffic Law Governing Mandatory Driver'S License Suspension For Refusing Testing For Drugs Or A Combination Of Drugs And Alcohol

LD 96 amends Maine's traffic law to require drivers to submit to a drug or alcohol test if a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe they are impaired by any drug, alcohol, or a combination. This replaces the current standard, which required probable cause for a specific drug category or combination. The bill updates terminology from "drug recognition expert" to "law enforcement officer" and clarifies that the Secretary of State must immediately suspend a driver's license for refusing such a test. It directly affects drivers stopped by police for suspected impairment who decline testing.
