AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND PUBLIC PROTECTION'S RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING VARIOUS STATUTES RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

Summary

Municipal fire departments must notify the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection within ten business days after naming a new or interim fire chief, providing contact details on a prescribed form. The bill also revises several criminal statutes so that breath, blood, or urine test results are admissible only if specific safeguards—like attorney access, consent, prompt delivery of test reports, equipment checks, and confirmatory testing—are followed, creating a rebuttable presumption that the results reflect the defendant’s blood‑alcohol level at the time of the offense.
