  • Defines "free tetrahydrocannabinol concentration" as the amount of unchanged, parent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol detected in a blood or bodily fluid sample, distinguishing it from metabolites.

  • Allows law enforcement to use validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when investigating cannabis-impaired driving.
