An Act Permitting The Use Of Oral Fluid Testing In Determining The Intoxication Of Drivers, Aircraft Operators And Hunters
The Bill was in the possession of the House when the Legislature adjourned Sine Die and was placed in the Legislative Files. (DEAD)
Summary
The bill expands Maine’s implied‑consent statutes so that, when there is probable cause, a person operating a motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, snowmobile, ATV or hunting, must submit to a chemical test that can include oral‑fluid analysis in addition to blood, breath or urine. It requires that anyone collecting or analyzing those samples be certified by the Department of Health and Human Services and that testing equipment carry a state‑approved stamp. The measure also sets evidentiary rules for test results and a limited notice period for defendants to challenge the certification.
