Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Makes persons subject to blood tests for refusal to submit to a breath test or suspicion of the ingestion, consumption, or use of drugs liable for the cost of employing a medical professional to perform the test up to a maximum of $500 if the person is (1) found guilty of violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar local ordinance, or (2) pleads guilty to or stipulates to facts supporting a violation of Section 11-503 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar local ordinance when the person was originally charged with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar local ordinance. Allows reimbursement even if the person does not consent to the blood draw.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds a cross reference to a Section of the Code that requires a police officer to request a blood draw if he or she suspects that a motor vehicle driven by or in actual physical control of a person under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or personal injury to another. Allows reimbursement whether the blood draw takes place at a law enforcement facility or a health care facility.
