AI Summary

  • Expands New Jersey's implied consent law to require drivers to submit to blood testing (in addition to existing breath testing) when a police officer has reasonable grounds to believe the driver violated DUI laws.

  • Establishes a per se standard for marijuana-impaired driving at 3 nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per milliliter of blood.

  • Creates a zero-tolerance standard for non-prescribed Schedule I, II, or III controlled dangerous substances, deeming any detectable amount of these drugs or their metabolites in blood as driving under the influence.
