2/22/10-A bill has died that sought to revise the state’s implied consent law. 
Sponsored by Rep. Stephen Holland, D-Lee, HB666 remained in the House Judiciary A Committee past the deadline to advance, effectively killing it for the year.
The bill called for authorizing officers with the Mississippi Department of Transportation to enforce the rule, which deems anyone operating a motor vehicle to have given their consent to a chemical test, or tests, to determine alcohol concentration.
The list of enforcement officers authorized to administer tests already includes Highway Patrol officers, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, local police, and campus police – if a violation occurred on campus property.
