466466 1 a registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, or licensed

471471 6 taking of breath, other bodily substance, or urine
472472 7 specimens.
473473 8 When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an
474474 9 adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an
475475 10 Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
476476 11 withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
477477 12 medicine in the adjoining state, a licensed physician
478478 13 assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse,
479479 14 a registered nurse, a trained phlebotomist acting under

483483 18 analyzed by a laboratory certified by the Illinois State
484484 19 Police for that purpose.
485485 20 3. The person tested may have a physician, or a

487487 22 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
488488 23 chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at

506506 5 officer, full information concerning the test or tests
507507 6 shall be made available to the person or such person's
508508 7 attorney.
509509 8 5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
510510 9 alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
511511 10 per 210 liters of breath.
512512 11 6. Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration means either 5
513513 12 nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per
514514 13 milliliter of whole blood or 10 nanograms or more of
515515 14 delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of other
516516 15 bodily substance. For purposes of this subsection,
517517 16 "delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol" includes parent
518518 17 delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or free
519519 18 delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
520520 19 (a-5) Law enforcement officials may use validated roadside
521521 20 chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests approved
522522 21 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when
523523 22 conducting investigations of a violation of Section 11-501 or
524524 23 similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under
525525 24 the influence of cannabis. The General Assembly finds that (i)
526526 25 validated roadside chemical tests are effective means to
527527 26 determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis and

538538 1 (ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the
539539 2 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are divided
540540 3 attention tasks that are intended to determine if a person is
541541 4 under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these tests is
542542 5 to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's
543543 6 capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore
544544 7 operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the results of
545545 8 these validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field
546546 9 sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be
547547 10 admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or
548548 11 proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related
549549 12 offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local
550550 13 ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2.
551551 14 Where a test is made the following provisions shall apply:
552552 15 1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
553553 16 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
554554 17 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
555555 18 chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
556556 19 field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
557557 20 of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
558558 21 obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude
559559 22 the admission of evidence relating to the test or tests
560560 23 taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
561561 24 2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to

577577 4 3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or
578578 5 proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
579579 6 defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
580580 7 proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the
581581 8 results of these validated roadside chemical tests or
582582 9 standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person
583583 10 may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence
584584 11 that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform
585585 12 the validated roadside chemical tests or standardized
586586 13 field sobriety tests.
587587 14 (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
588588 15 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
589589 16 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
590590 17 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the
591591 18 concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
592592 19 the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood,
593593 20 urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to
594594 21 the following presumptions:
595595 22 1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
596596 23 of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
597597 24 not under the influence of alcohol.
598598 25 2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
599599 26 in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not

610610 1 give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
611611 2 under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
612612 3 considered with other competent evidence in determining
613613 4 whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
614614 5 3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
615615 6 of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
616616 7 under the influence of alcohol.
617617 8 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
618618 9 be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
619619 10 relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
620620 11 person was under the influence of alcohol.
621621 12 (b-5) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
622622 13 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
623623 14 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
624624 15 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
625625 16 drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination
626626 17 thereof, the concentration of cannabis in the person's whole
627627 18 blood or other bodily substance at the time alleged as shown by
628628 19 analysis of the person's blood or other bodily substance shall
629629 20 give rise to the following presumptions:
630630 21 1. If there was a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration
631631 22 of 5 nanograms or more in whole blood or 10 nanograms or
632632 23 more in an other bodily substance as defined in this
633633 24 Section, it shall be presumed that the person was under
634634 25 the influence of cannabis.

646646 1 concentration of less than 5 nanograms in whole blood or
647647 2 less than 10 nanograms in an other bodily substance, such
648648 3 facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the
649649 4 person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but
650650 5 such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
651651 6 in determining whether the person was under the influence
652652 7 of cannabis.
653653 8 (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
654654 9 chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
655655 10 evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
656656 11 criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
657657 12 have been committed while the person under the influence of
658658 13 alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
659659 14 compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
660660 15 physical control of a motor vehicle.
661661 16 2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code
662662 17 to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
663663 18 consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
664664 19 probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
665665 20 actual physical control of a person under the influence of
666666 21 alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
667667 22 compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
668668 23 personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall

670670 25 law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
