 1        (a)  Upon the trial of any civil or  criminal  action  or
 2    proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined
 3    in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings
 4    pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of
 5    alcohol,  other  drug  or  drugs, or intoxicating compound or

 9    shall  be  admissible.  Where such test is made the following
10    provisions shall apply:
11             1.  Chemical analyses of the person's blood,  urine,
12        breath  or  other bodily substance to be considered valid
13        under the provisions of  this  Section  shall  have  been
14        performed  according  to  standards  promulgated  by  the

17        direction  of  a licensed physician, certified paramedic,
18        or other individual possessing a valid permit  issued  by

20        Police is authorized to approve  satisfactory  techniques
21        or   methods,   to   ascertain   the  qualifications  and
22        competence of individuals to conduct  such  analyses,  to

24        revocation at the discretion of that  Department  and  to
25        certify  the  accuracy  of  breath testing equipment. The
26        Department of State Police shall prescribe regulations as
27        necessary to implement this Section.
28             2.  When a person in this State shall  submit  to  a

30        under  the  provisions  of  Section  11-501.1,   only   a

 2        content  therein.  This limitation shall not apply to the
 3        taking of breath or urine specimens.  Upon request  by  a
 4        law   enforcement   officer,   hospital  personnel  shall
 5        withdraw blood and obtain urine samples for  the  purpose
 6        of  determining  the  alcohol  or  drug  content  of  the
 7        person's blood and urine.
 8             When  a blood test of a person who has been taken to
 9        an adjoining state for medical treatment is requested  by
10        an  Illinois  law  enforcement  officer, the blood may be
11        withdrawn only by  a  physician  authorized  to  practice
12        medicine  in  the  adjoining state, a registered nurse, a
13        trained phlebotomist acting under the  direction  of  the
14        physician,  or  certified  paramedic. The law enforcement
15        officer requesting the test shall  take  custody  of  the
16        blood sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed by a
17        laboratory  certified  by  the Department of State Police
18        for that purpose.
19             3.  The person tested may have  a  physician,  or  a
20        qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
21        qualified  person  of  their  own  choosing  administer a
22        chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at
23        the direction of a law enforcement officer.  The  failure
24        or  inability  to  obtain  an additional test by a person
25        shall not preclude the admission of evidence relating  to
26        the  test  or  tests  taken  at  the  direction  of a law
27        enforcement officer.
28             4.  Upon the request of the person who shall  submit

 2        (b)  Upon the trial of any civil or  criminal  action  or
 3    proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
 4    by  any person while driving or in actual physical control of
 5    a  vehicle  while  under  the  influence  of   alcohol,   the
 6    concentration  of  alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
 7    the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's  blood,
 8    urine,  breath,  or other bodily substance shall give rise to
 9    the following presumptions:
10             1.  If  there  was   at   that   time   an   alcohol
11        concentration  of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that
12        the person was not under the influence of alcohol.
13             2.  If  there  was   at   that   time   an   alcohol
14        concentration  in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such
15        facts shall not give rise to  any  presumption  that  the
16        person was or was not under the influence of alcohol, but
17        such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
18        in determining whether the person was under the influence
19        of alcohol.
20             3.  If   there   was   at   that   time  an  alcohol
21        concentration of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed  that
22        the person was under the influence of alcohol.
23             4.  The  foregoing  provisions of this Section shall
24        not be construed as  limiting  the  introduction  of  any
25        other relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether
26        the person was under the influence of alcohol.

27        (c) 1.  If  a  person under arrest refuses to submit to a
28    chemical test  under  the  provisions  of  Section  11-501.1,
29    evidence  of  refusal  shall  be  admissible  in any civil or
30    criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged  to
31    have  been  committed while the person under the influence of
32    alcohol, other drug or drugs,  or  intoxicating  compound  or
33    compounds,  or  any  combination  thereof  was  driving or in
34    actual physical control of a motor vehicle.

 2        Code to submit to these tests or any  ability  to  revoke
 3        the  implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
 4        officer has  probable  cause  to  believe  that  a  motor
 5        vehicle  driven  by  or  in  actual physical control of a
 6        person under the influence  of  alcohol,  other  drug  or
 7        drugs,  or  intoxicating  compound  or  compounds, or any
 8        combination thereof has  caused  the  death  or  personal
 9        injury  to  another,  that  person shall submit, upon the
10        request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical  test
11        or  tests  of  his  or her blood, breath or urine for the
12        purpose of determining the alcohol content thereof or the
13        presence of any other drug or combination of  both.  Upon
14        request  by a law enforcement officer, hospital personnel
15        shall withdraw blood and obtain  urine  samples  for  the
16        purpose of determining the alcohol or drug content of the
17        person's blood and urine.
18        This  provision  does  not affect the applicability of or
19    imposition  of  driver's  license  sanctions  under   Section
20    11-501.1 of this Code.
21             3.  For  purposes of this Section, a personal injury
22        includes any Type A injury as indicated  on  the  traffic
23        accident  report  completed  by a law enforcement officer
24        that requires immediate professional attention in  either
25        a doctor's office or a medical facility.  A Type A injury
26        includes  severe  bleeding wounds, distorted extremities,
27        and injuries that require the injured party to be carried
28        from the scene.

11    ordinance, or in prosecutions for reckless  homicide  brought
12    under  the  Criminal Code of 1961, when each of the following
13    criteria are met:
14             (1)  the   chemical   tests   performed   upon    an
15        individual's  blood were ordered in the regular course of
16        providing emergency medical  treatment  and  not  at  the
17        request of law enforcement authorities;
18             (2)  the    chemical   tests   performed   upon   an
19        individual's  blood  were  performed  by  the  laboratory
20        routinely used by the hospital; and
21             (3)  results of chemical  tests  performed  upon  an
22        individual's   blood   are   admissible   into   evidence
23        regardless of the time that the records were prepared.
24        (b)  The  confidentiality provisions of law pertaining to
25    medical records and medical treatment shall not be applicable
26    with regard to chemical tests performed upon an  individual's
27    blood under the provisions of this Section in prosecutions as
28    specified in subsection (a) of this Section.  No person shall
29    be  liable  for  civil damages as a result of the evidentiary

 6        Sec. 11-501.5.  Preliminary Breath Screening Test.
 7        (a)  If  a  law  enforcement   officer   has   reasonable
 8    suspicion  to  believe  that  a  person  is  violating or has
 9    violated Section 11-501 or a similar  provision  of  a  local
10    ordinance,  the  officer, prior to an arrest, may request the
11    person to provide a  sample  of  his  or  her  breath  for  a
12    preliminary  breath  screening  test  using a portable device
13    approved by the Department of State Police.  The  person  may
14    refuse  the  test.    The  results of this preliminary breath
15    screening test may be used by the law enforcement officer for
16    the purpose of assisting with the determination of whether to
17    require a chemical test as authorized under Sections 11-501.1
18    and 11-501.2, and the appropriate type of  test  to  request.
19    Any  chemical  test  authorized  under  Sections 11-501.1 and
20    11-501.2 may be requested by the officer  regardless  of  the
21    result  of the preliminary breath screening test, if probable
22    cause for an arrest exists.   The  result  of  a  preliminary
23    breath  screening  test  may  be  used  by  the  defendant as
24    evidence in any administrative or court proceeding  involving
25    a violation of Section 11-501 or 11-501.1.
26        (b)  The  Department of State Police shall create a pilot
27    program  to  establish  the  effectiveness  of   pupillometer
28    technology (the measurement of the pupil's reaction to light)
29    as  a  noninvasive  technique  to detect and measure possible
30    impairment of any person who drives or is in actual  physical
31    control of a motor vehicle resulting from the suspected usage
32    of  alcohol,  other  drug  or drugs, intoxicating compound or
33    compounds or any combination thereof.  This technology  shall

 1    also  be  used  to detect fatigue levels of the operator of a
 2    Commercial Motor Vehicle  as  defined  in  Section  6-500(6),
 3    pursuant  to  Section  18b-105  (Part 395-Hours of Service of
 4    Drivers) of the  Illinois  Vehicle  Code.    A  State  Police
 5    officer  may  request that the operator of a commercial motor
 6    vehicle have his or  her  eyes  examined  or  tested  with  a
 7    pupillometer  device.   The person may refuse the examination
 8    or test.  The State Police  officer  shall  have  the  device
 9    readily available to limit undue delays.
10        If  a  State  Police  officer has reasonable suspicion to
11    believe that a person is violating or  has  violated  Section
12    11-501, the officer may use the pupillometer technology, when
13    available.   The officer, prior to an arrest, may request the
14    person to have his or her eyes  examined  or  tested  with  a
15    pupillometer  device.   The person may refuse the examination
16    or test.  The results of this examination or test may be used
17    by  the  officer  for  the  purpose  of  assisting  with  the
18    determination of  whether  to  require  a  chemical  test  as
19    authorized  under  Sections  11-501.1  and  11-501.2  and the
20    appropriate type of  test  to  request.   Any  chemical  test
21    authorized  under  Sections  11-501.1  and  11-501.2  may  be
22    requested  by  the  officer  regardless  of the result of the
23    pupillometer examination or test, if probable  cause  for  an
24    arrest  exists.  The result of the examination or test may be
25    used by the defendant as evidence in  any  administrative  or
26    court proceeding involving a violation of 11-501 or 11-501.1.
27        The  pilot  program  shall last for a period of 18 months
28    and involve the testing of 15 pupillometer  devices.   Within
29    90   days  of  the  completion  of  the  pilot  project,  the
30    Department of State Police  shall  file  a  report  with  the
31    President  of  the Senate and Speaker of the House evaluating
32    the project.
33        (b)  The results of a preliminary breath  screening  test
34    are  admissible  by  the  State  during any civil or criminal
 
                            -14-               LRB9205403DHpc
 1    proceeding challenging a police officer's determination  that
 2    probable  cause  existed  to arrest the defendant for driving
 3    while  under  the  influence   of   alcohol.    Evidence   of
 4    non-compliance  with  manufacturer's recommendations does not
 5    affect the admissibility of a  preliminary  breath  screening
 6    test at a hearing challenging probable cause.
