Chemical and other tests. | 21 | | (a) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or | 22 | | proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined | 23 | | in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings | 24 | | pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of | 25 | | alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or |
| | | HB4890 | - 12 - | LRB103 34683 MXP 64528 b |
|
| 1 | | compounds, or any combination thereof in a person's blood or | 2 | | breath at the time alleged, as determined by analysis of the | 3 | | person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily substance, | 4 | | shall be admissible. Where such test is made the following | 5 | | provisions shall apply: | 6 | | 1. Chemical analyses of the person's blood, urine, | 7 | | breath, or other bodily substance to be considered valid | 8 | | under the provisions of this Section shall have been | 9 | | performed according to standards promulgated by the | 10 | | Illinois State Police by a licensed physician, registered | 11 | | nurse, trained phlebotomist, licensed paramedic, or other | 12 | | individual possessing a valid permit issued by that | 13 | | Department for this purpose. The Director of the Illinois | 14 | | State Police is authorized to approve satisfactory | 15 | | techniques or methods, to ascertain the qualifications and | 16 | | competence of individuals to conduct such analyses, to | 17 | | issue permits which shall be subject to termination or | 18 | | revocation at the discretion of that Department and to | 19 | | certify the accuracy of breath testing equipment. The | 20 | | Illinois State Police shall prescribe regulations as | 21 | | necessary to implement this Section. | 22 | | 2. When a person in this State shall submit to a blood | 23 | | test at the request of a law enforcement officer under the | 24 | | provisions of Section 11-501.1, only a physician | 25 | | authorized to practice medicine, a licensed physician | 26 | | assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse, |
| | | HB4890 | - 13 - | LRB103 34683 MXP 64528 b |
|
| 1 | | a registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, or licensed | 2 | | paramedic, or other qualified person approved by the | 3 | | Illinois State Police may withdraw blood for the purpose | 4 | | of determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug | 5 | | content therein. This limitation shall not apply to the | 6 | | taking of breath, other bodily substance, or urine | 7 | | specimens. | 8 | | When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an | 9 | | adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an | 10 | | Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be | 11 | | withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice | 12 | | medicine in the adjoining state, a licensed physician | 13 | | assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse, | 14 | | a registered nurse, a trained phlebotomist acting under | 15 | | the direction of the physician, or licensed paramedic. The | 16 | | law enforcement officer requesting the test shall take | 17 | | custody of the blood sample, and the blood sample shall be | 18 | | analyzed by a laboratory certified by the Illinois State | 19 | | Police for that purpose. | 20 | | 3. The person tested may have a physician, or a | 21 | | qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other | 22 | | qualified person of their own choosing administer a | 23 | | chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at | 24 | | the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or | 25 | | inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall | 26 | | not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the |
| | | HB4890 | - 14 - | LRB103 34683 MXP 64528 b |
|
| 1 | | test or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement | 2 | | officer. | 3 | | 4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a | 4 | | chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement | 5 | | officer, full information concerning the test or tests | 6 | | shall be made available to the person or such person's | 7 | | attorney. | 8 | | 5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of | 9 | | alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol | 10 | | per 210 liters of breath. | 11 | | 6. Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration means either 5 | 12 | | nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per | 13 | | milliliter of whole blood or 10 nanograms or more of | 14 | | delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of other | 15 | | bodily substance. For purposes of this subsection, | 16 | | "delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol" includes parent | 17 | | delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or free | 18 | | delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. | 19 | | (a-5) Law enforcement officials may use validated roadside | 20 | | chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests approved | 21 | | by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when | 22 | | conducting investigations of a violation of Section 11-501 or | 23 | | similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under | 24 | | the influence of cannabis. The General Assembly finds that (i) | 25 | | validated roadside chemical tests are effective means to | 26 | | determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis and |
| | | HB4890 | - 15 - | LRB103 34683 MXP 64528 b |
|
| 1 | | (ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the | 2 | | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are divided | 3 | | attention tasks that are intended to determine if a person is | 4 | | under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these tests is | 5 | | to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's | 6 | | capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore | 7 | | operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the results of | 8 | | these validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field | 9 | | sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be | 10 | | admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or | 11 | | proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related | 12 | | offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local | 13 | | ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2. | 14 | | Where a test is made the following provisions shall apply: | 15 | | 1. The person tested may have a physician, or a | 16 | | qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other | 17 | | qualified person of their own choosing administer a | 18 | | chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized | 19 | | field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction | 20 | | of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to | 21 | | obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude | 22 | | the admission of evidence relating to the test or tests | 23 | | taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer. | 24 | | 2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to | 25 | | validated roadside chemical tests or a standardized field | 26 | | sobriety test or tests at the request of a law enforcement |
| | | HB4890 | - 16 - | LRB103 34683 MXP 64528 b |
|
| 1 | | officer, full information concerning the test or tests | 2 | | shall be made available to the person or the person's | 3 | | attorney. | 4 | | 3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or | 5 | | proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as | 6 | | defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or | 7 | | proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the | 8 | | results of these validated roadside chemical tests or | 9 | | standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person | 10 | | may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence | 11 | | that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform | 12 | | the validated roadside chemical tests or standardized | 13 | | field sobriety tests. | 14 | | (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or | 15 | | proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed | 16 | | by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a | 17 | | vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the | 18 | | concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at | 19 | | the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood, | 20 | | urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to | 21 | | the following presumptions: | 22 | | 1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration | 23 | | of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was | 24 | | not under the influence of alcohol. | 25 | | 2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration | 26 | | in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not |
| | | HB4890 | - 17 - | LRB103 34683 MXP 64528 b |

| 1 | | give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not | 2 | | under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be | 3 | | considered with other competent evidence in determining | 4 | | whether the person was under the influence of alcohol. | 5 | | 3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration | 6 | | of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was | 7 | | under the influence of alcohol. | 8 | | 4.

| 1 | | concentration of less than 5 nanograms in whole blood or | 2 | | less than 10 nanograms in an other bodily substance, such | 3 | | facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the | 4 | | person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but | 5 | | such fact may be considered with other competent evidence | 6 | | in determining whether the person was under the influence | 7 | | of cannabis. | 8 | | (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a | 9 | | chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1, | 10 | | evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or | 11 | | criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to | 12 | | have been committed while the person under the influence of | 13 | | alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or | 14 | | compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual | 15 | | physical control of a motor vehicle. | 16 | | 2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code | 17 | | to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied | 18 | | consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has | 19 | | probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in | 20 | | actual physical control of a person under the influence of | 21 | | alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or | 22 | | compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or | 23 | | personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall | 24 | | request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a | 25 | | law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or | 26 | | her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for the |

| 1 | | purpose of determining the alcohol content thereof or the | 2 | | presence of any other drug or combination of both. | 3 | | This provision does not affect the applicability of or | 4 | | imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section | 5 | | 11-501.1 of this Code. | 6 | | 3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury | 7 | | includes any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic crash | 8 | | report completed by a law enforcement officer that requires | 9 | | immediate professional attention in either a doctor's office | 10 | | or a medical facility. A Type A injury includes severe | 11 | | bleeding wounds, distorted extremities, and injuries that | 12 | | require the injured party to be carried from the scene. | 13 | | (d) If a person refuses validated roadside chemical tests | 14 | | or standardized field sobriety tests under Section 11-501.9 of | 15 | | this Code, evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any | 16 | | civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts | 17 | | committed while the person was driving or in actual physical | 18 | | control of a vehicle and alleged to have been impaired by the | 19 | | use of cannabis. | 20 | | (e) Illinois State Police compliance with the changes in | 21 | | this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly concerning | 22 | | testing of other bodily substances and tetrahydrocannabinol | 23 | | concentration by Illinois State Police laboratories is subject | 24 | | to appropriation and until the Illinois State Police adopt | 25 | | standards and completion validation.
