Existing law prohibits a person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, or who has 0.08% or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood, or who is addicted to the use of any drug, to drive a vehicle. Existing law also makes it unlawful to drive under the influence and cause bodily injury to another person. This bill would make it unlawful for a person to drive a motor vehicle if his or her blood contains specified amounts of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine or heroin or their metabolites, morphine, phencyclidine, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol of marijuana. By expanding the scope of the crime of driving under the influence of a drug, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
