15  breath or a test of the urine or blood for the purpose of

16  determining the alcoholic content of the person's blood or

17  breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled

18  substances; and, if so requested, the arresting officer shall

20         (e)1.  By applying for a driver's license and by

21  accepting and using a driver's license, the person holding the

22  driver's license is deemed to have expressed his or her

23  consent to the provisions of this section.

24         2.  A nonresident or any other person driving in a

25  status exempt from the requirements of the driver's license

  1         (f)1.  The tests determining the weight of alcohol in

  2  the defendant's blood or breath shall be administered at the

  3  request of a law enforcement officer substantially in

  4  accordance with rules of the Department of Law Enforcement.

  5  Such rules must specify precisely the test or tests that are

  6  approved by the Department of Law Enforcement for reliability

  7  of result and ease of administration, and must provide an

  8  approved method of administration which must be followed in

  9  all such tests given under this section.  However, the failure

10  of a law enforcement officer to request the withdrawal of

11  blood does not affect the admissibility of a test of blood

12  withdrawn for medical purposes.

13         2.a.  Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered

14  nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by

15  a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory

16  director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at

17  the request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood

18  for the purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the

19  presence of chemical substances or controlled substances

20  therein. However, the failure of a law enforcement officer to

21  request the withdrawal of blood does not affect the

22  admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical

23  purposes.

24         b.  Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to

25  the confidentiality of hospital records or other medical

26  records, if a health care provider, who is providing medical

27  care in a health care facility to a person injured in a motor

28  vehicle crash, becomes aware, as a result of any blood test

29  performed in the course of that medical treatment, that the

30  person's blood-alcohol level meets or exceeds the

31  blood-alcohol level specified in s. 316.193(1)(b), the health

  1  care provider may notify any law enforcement officer or law

  2  enforcement agency. Any such notice must be given within a

  3  reasonable time after the health care provider receives the

  4  test result. Any such notice shall be used only for the

  5  purpose of providing the law enforcement officer with

  6  reasonable cause to request the withdrawal of a blood sample

  7  pursuant to this section.

  8         c.  The notice shall consist only of the name of the

  9  person being treated, the name of the person who drew the

10  blood, the blood-alcohol level indicated by the test, and the

11  date and time of the administration of the test.

12         d.  Nothing contained in s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or

13  any applicable practice act affects the authority to provide

14  notice under this section, and the health care provider is not

15  considered to have breached any duty owed to the person under

16  s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any applicable practice act by

17  providing notice or failing to provide notice. It shall not be

18  a breach of any ethical, moral, or legal duty for a health

19  care provider to provide notice or fail to provide notice.

20         e.  A civil, criminal, or administrative action may not

21  be brought against any person or health care provider

22  participating in good faith in the provision of notice or

23  failure to provide notice as provided in this section. Any

24  person or health care provider participating in the provision

25  of notice or failure to provide notice as provided in this

26  section shall be immune from any civil or criminal liability

27  and from any professional disciplinary action with respect to

28  the provision of notice or failure to provide notice under

29  this section. Any such participant has the same immunity with

30  respect to participating in any judicial proceedings resulting

31  from the notice or failure to provide notice.

  4  laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or technician,

  5  or other person of his or her own choosing administer an

  7  direction of the law enforcement officer for the purpose of

  8  determining the amount of alcohol in the person's blood or

  9  breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled

10  substances at the time alleged, as shown by chemical analysis

11  of his or her blood or urine, or by chemical or physical test

12  of his or her breath. The failure or inability to obtain an

13  independent test by a person does not preclude the

14  admissibility in evidence of the test taken at the direction

15  of the law enforcement officer.  The law enforcement officer

16  shall not interfere with the person's opportunity to obtain

17  the independent test and shall provide the person with timely

18  telephone access to secure the test, but the burden is on the

19  person to arrange and secure the test at the person's own

20  expense.

21         4.  Upon the request of the person tested, full

22  information concerning the test taken at the direction of the

23  law enforcement officer shall be made available to the person

24  or his or her attorney.

28  authorized by a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed

29  clinical laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or

15  controlled substances in the blood obtained pursuant to this

11  test shall be performed in a reasonable manner.

12  Notwithstanding s. 316.1932, the testing required by this

12  chemical substances, or controlled substances; implied

13  consent; refusal right to refuse.--

14         (1)(a)  The Legislature declares that the operation of

15  a vessel is a privilege that must be exercised in a reasonable

16  manner. In order to protect the public health and safety, it

17  is essential that a lawful and effective means of reducing the

18  incidence of boating while impaired or intoxicated be

19  established. Therefore, any person who accepts the privilege

20  extended by the laws of this state of operating a vessel

21  within this state is, by so operating such vessel, deemed to

22  have given his or her consent to submit to an approved

23  chemical test or physical test including, but not limited to,

24  an infrared light test of his or her breath for the purpose of

25  determining the alcoholic content of his or her blood or

26  breath, and to a urine test for the purpose of detecting the

27  presence of chemical substances as set forth in s. 877.111 or

28  controlled substances, if the person is lawfully arrested for

29  any offense allegedly committed while the person was operating

30  a vessel while under the influence of alcoholic beverages,

  2  and administered at the request of a law enforcement officer

  3  who has reasonable cause to believe such person was operating

  4  the vessel within this state while under the influence of

  5  alcoholic beverages. The urine test must be incidental to a

  6  lawful arrest and administered at a detention facility or any

  7  other facility, mobile or otherwise, which is equipped to

  8  administer such tests at the request of a law enforcement

  9  officer who has reasonable cause to believe such person was

10  operating a vessel within this state while under the influence

11  of controlled substances. The urine test shall be administered

12  at a detention facility or any other facility, mobile or

13  otherwise, which is equipped to administer such tests in a

14  reasonable manner that will ensure the accuracy of the

15  specimen and maintain the privacy of the individual involved.

16  The administration of one type of test does not preclude the

17  administration of another type of test.  The person shall be

18  told that his or her failure to submit to any lawful test of

19  his or her breath or urine, or both, will result in a civil

20  penalty of $500, and will also be told that if he or she

21  refuses to submit to a lawful test of his or her breath or

22  urine, or both, and he or she has been previously fined for

23  refusal to submit to any lawful test of his or her breath,

24  urine, or blood, he or she is guilty of a misdemeanor in

25  addition to any other penalties. The refusal to submit to a

26  chemical or physical breath or urine test upon the request of

27  a law enforcement officer as provided in this section is

28  admissible into evidence in any criminal proceeding.

25         (c)  Any person who accepts the privilege extended by

26  the laws of this state of operating a vessel within this state

27  is, by operating such vessel, deemed to have given his or her

28  consent to submit to an approved blood test for the purpose of

29  determining the alcoholic content of the blood or a blood test

30  for the purpose of determining the presence of chemical

31  substances or controlled substances as provided in this

                                  26

  1  section if there is reasonable cause to believe the person was

  2  operating a vessel while under the influence of alcoholic

  3  beverages or chemical or controlled substances and the person

  4  appears for treatment at a hospital, clinic, or other medical

  5  facility and the administration of a breath or urine test is

  6  impractical or impossible. As used in this paragraph, the term

  7  "other medical facility" includes an ambulance or other

  8  medical emergency vehicle. The blood test shall be performed

  9  in a reasonable manner.  Any person who is incapable of

10  refusal by reason of unconsciousness or other mental or

11  physical condition is deemed not to have withdrawn his or her

12  consent to such test. Any person who is capable of refusal

13  shall be told that his or her failure to submit to such a

14  blood test will result in a civil penalty of $500 and that a

15  refusal to submit to a lawful test of his or her blood, if he

16  or she has previously been fined for refusal to submit to any

17  lawful test of his or her breath, urine, or blood, is a

18  misdemeanor. The refusal to submit to a blood test upon the

19  request of a law enforcement officer shall be admissible in

20  evidence in any criminal proceeding.

21         (d)  If the arresting officer does not request a

22  chemical or physical breath test of the person arrested for

23  any offense allegedly committed while the person was operating

24  a vessel while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or

25  controlled substances, the person may request the arresting

26  officer to have a chemical or physical test made of the

27  arrested person's breath or a test of the urine or blood for

28  the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of the

29  person's blood or breath or the presence of chemical

30  substances or controlled substances; and, if so requested, the

31  arresting officer shall have the test performed.

  1         (e)1.  The tests determining the weight of alcohol in

  2  the defendant's blood or breath shall be administered at the

  3  request of a law enforcement officer substantially in

  4  accordance with rules of the Department of Law Enforcement.

  5  However, the failure of a law enforcement officer to request

  6  the withdrawal of blood does not affect the admissibility of a

  7  test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.

  8         2.  Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered

  9  nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by

10  a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory

11  director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at

12  the request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood

13  for the purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the

14  presence of chemical substances or controlled substances

15  therein. However, the failure of a law enforcement officer to

16  request the withdrawal of blood does not affect the

17  admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical

18  purposes.

19         3.  The person tested may, at his or her own expense,

20  have a physician, registered nurse, other personnel authorized

21  by a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical

22  laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or technician,

23  or other person of his or her own choosing administer an

24  independent test in addition to the test administered at the

25  direction of the law enforcement officer for the purpose of

26  determining the amount of alcohol in the person's blood or

27  breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled

28  substances at the time alleged, as shown by chemical analysis

29  of his or her blood or urine, or by chemical or physical test

30  of his or her breath. The failure or inability to obtain an

31  independent test by a person does not preclude the

                                  28

  1  admissibility in evidence of the test taken at the direction

  2  of the law enforcement officer. The law enforcement officer

  3  shall not interfere with the person's opportunity to obtain

  4  the independent test and shall provide the person with timely

  5  telephone access to secure the test, but the burden is on the

  6  person to arrange and secure the test at the person's own

  7  expense.

  8         4.  Upon the request of the person tested, full

  9  information concerning the test taken at the direction of the

10  law enforcement officer shall be made available to the person

11  or his or her attorney.

12         5.  A hospital, clinical laboratory, medical clinic, or

13  similar medical institution or physician, certified paramedic,

14  registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel

15  authorized by a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed

16  clinical laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or

17  technician, or other person assisting a law enforcement

18  officer does not incur any civil or criminal liability as a

19  result of the withdrawal or analysis of a blood or urine

20  specimen, or the chemical or physical test of a person's

21  breath pursuant to accepted medical standards when requested

22  by a law enforcement officer, regardless of whether or not the

23  subject resisted administration of the test.

24         (2)  The results of any test administered pursuant to

25  this section for the purpose of detecting the presence of any

26  controlled substance shall not be admissible as evidence in a

27  criminal prosecution for the possession of a controlled

28  substance.

29         (3)  Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to

30  the confidentiality of hospital records or other medical

31  records, information relating to the alcoholic content of the

  8  Statutes, is amended to read:

10  cases of death or serious bodily injury; right to use

11  reasonable force.--

12         (1)(a)  Notwithstanding any recognized ability to

13  refuse to submit to the tests provided in s. 327.352 or any

14  recognized power to revoke the implied consent to such tests,

15  If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe

16  that a vessel operated by a person under the influence of

17  alcoholic beverages, any chemical substances, or any

18  controlled substances has caused the death or serious bodily

19  injury of a human being, the person shall submit, upon the

20  request of a law enforcement officer shall require the person

21  operating or in actual physical control of the vessel to

22  submit, to a test of the person's blood for the purpose of

23  determining the alcoholic content thereof or the presence of

24  chemical substances as set forth in s. 877.111 or any

25  substance controlled under chapter 893.  The law enforcement

26  officer may use reasonable force if necessary to require the

27  person to submit to the administration of the blood test.  The

28  blood test shall be performed in a reasonable manner.

29  Notwithstanding s. 327.352, the testing required by this

30  paragraph need not be incidental to a lawful arrest of the

31  person.
