518518 17 concentration" means the amount of unchanged, parent

538538 1 similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under
539539 2 the influence of cannabis. The General Assembly finds that (i)
540540 3 validated roadside chemical tests are effective means to
541541 4 determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis and
542542 5 (ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the
543543 6 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are divided
544544 7 attention tasks that are intended to determine if a person is
545545 8 under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these tests is
546546 9 to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's
547547 10 capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore
548548 11 operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the results of
549549 12 these validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field
550550 13 sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be
551551 14 admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or
552552 15 proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related
553553 16 offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local
554554 17 ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2.
555555 18 Where a test is made the following provisions shall apply:
556556 19 1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
557557 20 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
558558 21 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
559559 22 chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
560560 23 field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
561561 24 of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to

577577 4 sobriety test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
578578 5 officer, full information concerning the test or tests

580580 7 attorney.
581581 8 3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or
582582 9 proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
583583 10 defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
584584 11 proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the
585585 12 results of these validated roadside chemical tests or
586586 13 standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person
587587 14 may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence
588588 15 that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform
589589 16 the validated roadside chemical tests or standardized
590590 17 field sobriety tests.
591591 18 (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
592592 19 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
593593 20 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
594594 21 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the
595595 22 concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
596596 23 the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood,
597597 24 urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to

610610 1 of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
611611 2 not under the influence of alcohol.
612612 3 2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
613613 4 in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
614614 5 give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
615615 6 under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
616616 7 considered with other competent evidence in determining
617617 8 whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
618618 9 3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
619619 10 of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
620620 11 under the influence of alcohol.
621621 12 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
622622 13 be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
623623 14 relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
624624 15 person was under the influence of alcohol.
625625 16 (b-5) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
626626 17 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
627627 18 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
628628 19 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
629629 20 drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination
630630 21 thereof, the concentration of cannabis in the person's whole
631631 22 blood or other bodily substance at the time alleged as shown by
632632 23 analysis of the person's blood or other bodily substance shall
633633 24 give rise to the following presumptions:

647647 2 more per milliliter in any an other bodily substance as
648648 3 defined in this Section, it shall be presumed that the
649649 4 person was under the influence of cannabis.
650650 5 2. If there was at that time a free
651651 6 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of less than 5
652652 7 nanograms per milliliter in whole blood or less than 10
653653 8 nanograms per milliliter in an other bodily substance,
654654 9 such facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the
655655 10 person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but
656656 11 such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
657657 12 in determining whether the person was under the influence
658658 13 of cannabis.
659659 14 (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
660660 15 chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
661661 16 evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
662662 17 criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
663663 18 have been committed while the person under the influence of
664664 19 alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
665665 20 compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
666666 21 physical control of a motor vehicle.
