An Act establishing a standing commission on operating under the influence and impaired driving

This bill creates a permanent commission in Massachusetts to study and improve how impaired driving is detected and handled. The commission will include representatives from law enforcement, medical professionals, civil liberties groups, and the public to review testing methods, legal procedures, and training needs. It must meet at least every three months and submit detailed reports with recommendations to state officials every two years. The group will examine various factors such as the accuracy of current tests, costs, civil rights implications, and the effectiveness of stopping impaired drivers. Members of the commission will serve without pay, and the first report is due by January 1, 2024.
