What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires law enforcement agencies to adopt a written policy regarding

drug and alcohol testing following an officer-involved critical incident. An

“officer-involved critical incident" is an incident that occurs in the performance of

a law enforcement officer's official duties and in which either 1) the actions of the

officer result in death or great bodily harm to a person or 2) the officer discharges a

firearm at a person. The written policy must require that a law enforcement officer

who is involved in an officer-involved critical incident submit to drug and alcohol

testing following the incident and that the testing be completed as soon as

practicable. The bill also requires that the drugs to be tested for include, at least,

alcohol, amphetamines, cannabis or cannabinoids, opiates, cocaine, phencyclidine

(PCP), and anabolic steroids.
