House Bill No. [insert bill number] introduces "Jada's Law," which establishes new requirements for the detention and release of individuals arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired. The bill mandates that a person cannot be released from custody until a safe-release clearance is issued by the custodial agency, confirming that the individual is medically sober. This determination can only be made after a chemical test indicates that the person's blood alcohol concentration is at or below the legal limit, or if a minimum of eight hours has passed since the arrest without a chemical test result. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of law enforcement agencies regarding the securing of vehicles involved in such offenses and the notification of rental car dealers when a rental vehicle is implicated.

Additionally, the bill provides for civil immunity for law enforcement and custodial agencies acting in good faith compliance with these new provisions. It allows for the adoption of standards and training guidance by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to ensure proper implementation of the law. The proposed law aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals arrested for operating while impaired are not released until they are no longer a danger to themselves or others.
