A bill for an act relating to implied consent to test specimens of a person’s blood, breath, or urine following a motor vehicle accident resulting in death, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that any driver involved in a motor‑vehicle accident that results in death is automatically deemed to have consented to chemical testing, even if an officer has no specific reason to suspect intoxication. It also sets administrative penalties, including driver’s‑license revocation, for refusing the test or testing positive. The change aims to strengthen enforcement after fatal crashes.
