6/9/09-A bill in the Senate Law and Public Safety and Veterans’ Affairs Committee would require sobriety tests for all drivers in “serious” wrecks.
New Jersey law now permits a sobriety test to be given only when there is evidence or clear suspicion that a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Sponsored by Sen. James Beach, D-Cherry Hill, S2810 would require law enforcement officers to obtain a breath or blood sample of drivers of vehicles involved in wrecks resulting in death or serious injury to another person.
Refusal to abide by the rule could result in fines up to $1,000 and a possible two-year suspension of the offender’s driver’s license – the same penalty for a conviction of refusal in relation to a drunken driving charge.
For bill status, call 609-292-4840. In New Jersey, call 800-792-8630.
The Assembly version – A3838 – is in the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee.
