S.B. No. 1886 amends Article 18.067 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to streamline the execution of search warrants for blood specimens in cases of intoxication offenses. The bill allows any peace officer to execute a warrant issued under Article 18.02(a)(10) for collecting blood specimens from individuals suspected of committing specific intoxication offenses, as outlined in the Penal Code. This change removes the previous requirement that limited execution to law enforcement officers authorized to make arrests in the county where the warrant was issued and adjacent counties.

The new law will only apply to search warrants issued on or after the effective date of September 1, 2025, meaning that any warrants issued prior to this date will still be governed by the existing law. This legislative change aims to enhance the efficiency of law enforcement in handling intoxication-related offenses by broadening the scope of officers who can execute such warrants.
