Requiring auto accident toxicology test be performed

Summary

The law orders a blood test for alcohol on any driver or adult pedestrian who dies in a crash, to be done within 12 hours before embalming. It also lets police require a surviving driver in a fatal crash to give a breath test and, with written consent or a warrant, a blood test for alcohol or drugs. Testers are given civil and criminal immunity, a set fee is provided, and results are reported for safety statistics.
