Description
Taking blood samples pursuant to search warrant; qualified immunity. Provides that no civil liability will attach to a person authorized to withdraw blood pursuant to a search warrant if the sample is taken in accordance with recognized medical procedures and no negligence is present. The bill also designates the medical professionals who may take samples and some of the procedures that must be used in taking a sample. The bill includes a Class 3 misdemeanor for reusing single-use-only needles and mirrors language elsewhere in the Code ( 18.2-268.5) regarding the taking of blood samples for driving under the influence.
