Description

Alcohol or drug content of blood. Changes the term "rebuttable presumption" to "inference" in DUI, drunk boating, and commercial DUI statutes. Under current law, if an accused has a certain blood alcohol or drug level it is presumed that he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the alleged offense, and this bill changes the term "presumed" to "inferred."
