This bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code by introducing new definitions and modifying existing provisions related to the testing of bodily fluids for controlled substances. It adds a new section, 36d, which defines "other bodily fluid" as any human fluid capable of revealing the presence of controlled substances, including oral fluid. Additionally, the bill revises the definition of "preliminary oral fluid analysis" to specify that such tests can be conducted by a peace officer rather than a certified drug recognition expert.

Furthermore, the bill updates the language regarding the suspension or revocation of commercial learners permits and vehicle group designations in cases of violations related to chemical testing. It expands the types of bodily fluids that can be tested to include "other bodily fluid" alongside blood, breath, and urine. The bill also modifies the penalties associated with various violations, including those involving hazardous materials and serious traffic violations, while ensuring that the consequences for refusing to submit to a chemical test are clearly outlined. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4391.
