AI Summary

  • Replaces blanket prohibition on driving with "any detectable amount" of certain drugs with specific nanogram thresholds for amphetamine (100 ng/mL), methamphetamine (100 ng/mL), cocaine (50 ng/mL), heroin (50 ng/mL), morphine (50 ng/mL), phencyclidine (10 ng/mL), and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol/marijuana (2 ng/mL).

  • Adds heroin metabolite 6-monoacetylmorphine (10 ng/mL) and cocaine metabolite (50 ng/mL) as separately prohibited substances with specific threshold amounts.

  • Applies the new drug-specific nanogram standards to both driving under the influence charges (Vehicle Code Section 23152) and driving under the influence causing bodily injury charges (Vehicle Code Section 23153).

  • Exempts the state from providing reimbursement to local agencies or school districts for implementation costs under California Constitution Article XIII B because the act modifies criminal penalties and definitions.
