The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code by introducing new definitions and modifying existing provisions related to the testing of bodily fluids for controlled substances. Specifically, it adds a new section (Sec. 36d) that defines "other bodily fluid" as any fluid from the human body capable of revealing the presence of controlled substances, including oral fluid. Additionally, the term "preliminary oral fluid analysis" is updated to specify that such tests can be conducted by a peace officer rather than a certified drug recognition expert.

Furthermore, the bill expands the scope of chemical testing to include "other bodily fluid" alongside blood, breath, and urine in various sections, thereby broadening the criteria for suspending or revoking commercial learners' permits and vehicle group designations. It also modifies the penalties associated with violations related to operating commercial motor vehicles under the influence of controlled substances, including increased suspension periods for multiple offenses. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted, contingent upon the passage of a related bill.
