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

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

17  law, by his or her act of driving in such exempt status, is

18  deemed to have expressed his or her consent to the provisions

19  of this section.

20         3.  A warning of the consent provision of this section

21  shall be printed above the signature line on each new or

22  renewed driver's license.

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

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

25  request of a law enforcement officer substantially in

26  accordance with rules of the Department of Law Enforcement.

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

28  approved by the Department of Law Enforcement for reliability

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

30  approved method of administration which must be followed in

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

  1  of a law enforcement officer to request the withdrawal of

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

  3  withdrawn for medical purposes.

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

  5  nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by

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

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

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

  9  for the purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the

10  presence of chemical substances or controlled substances

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

12  request the withdrawal of blood does not affect the

13  admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical

14  purposes.

15         b.  Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to

16  the confidentiality of hospital records or other medical

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

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

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

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

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

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

23  care provider may notify any law enforcement officer or law

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

25  reasonable time after the health care provider receives the

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

27  purpose of providing the law enforcement officer with

28  reasonable cause to request the withdrawal of a blood sample

29  pursuant to this section.

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

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

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

  2  date and time of the administration of the test.

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

  4  any applicable practice act affects the authority to provide

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12  be brought against any person or health care provider

13  participating in good faith in the provision of notice or

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

15  person or health care provider participating in the provision

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

17  section shall be immune from any civil or criminal liability

18  and from any professional disciplinary action with respect to

19  the provision of notice or failure to provide notice under

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

21  respect to participating in any judicial proceedings resulting

22  from the notice or failure to provide notice.

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

24  have a physician, registered nurse, other personnel authorized

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

26  laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or technician,

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

28  independent test in addition to the test administered at the

29  direction of the law enforcement officer for the purpose of

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

31  breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled

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

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

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

  4  independent test by a person does not preclude the

  5  admissibility in evidence of the test taken at the direction

  6  of the law enforcement officer.  The law enforcement officer

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

  8  the independent test and shall provide the person with timely

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

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

11  expense.

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

13  information concerning the test taken at the direction of the

14  law enforcement officer shall be made available to the person

15  or his or her attorney.

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

17  similar medical institution or physician, certified paramedic,

18  registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel

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

20  clinical laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or

21  technician, or other person assisting a law enforcement

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

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

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

25  breath pursuant to accepted medical standards when requested

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

27  subject resisted administration of the test.

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

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

30  controlled substance shall not be admissible as evidence in a

  7  controlled substances in the blood obtained pursuant to this

  9  defense attorney, or law enforcement officer in connection

10  with an alleged violation of s. 316.193 upon request for such

11  information.

12         Section 3.  Subsection (1) of section 316.1933, Florida

13  Statutes, is amended to read:

14         316.1933  Blood test for impairment or intoxication in

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

16  reasonable force.--

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

18  refuse to submit to the tests provided in s. 316.1932 or any

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

20  If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe

21  that a motor vehicle driven by or in the actual physical

22  control of a person under the influence of alcoholic

23  beverages, any chemical substances, or any controlled

24  substances has caused the death or serious bodily injury of a

25  human being, such person shall submit, upon the request of a

26  law enforcement officer shall require the person driving or in

27  actual physical control of the motor vehicle to submit, to a

28  test of the person's blood for the purpose of determining the

29  alcoholic content thereof or the presence of chemical

30  substances as set forth in s. 877.111 or any substance

  3  test shall be performed in a reasonable manner.

  4  Notwithstanding s. 316.1932, the testing required by this

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

  6  person.

  7         (b)  The term "serious bodily injury" means an injury

  8  to any person, including the driver, which consists of a

  9  physical condition that creates a substantial risk of death,

10  serious personal disfigurement, or protracted loss or

11  impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.

12         (c)  The law enforcement officer shall offer any person

13  subject to a blood test under this subsection the opportunity

14  to submit to an approved chemical test of the person's breath

15  and, if the person submits to the test and a valid reading is

16  obtained, the blood test shall be waived.  This paragraph

17  shall not apply to any person who is unconscious or whose

18  mental or physical condition does not allow the administration

19  of a breath test or any person who the law enforcement officer

20  has probable cause to believe was operating a motor vehicle

21  under the influence of any chemical substances as set forth in

22  s. 877.111 or any controlled substances.

23         Section 4.  Section 316.1939, Florida Statutes, is

24  created to read:

  6         (c)  Who was informed that if he or she refused to

  7  submit to such test, his or her privilege to operate a motor

  8  vehicle would be suspended for a period of 1 year or, in the

10  months, and that the refusal to submit to such test is a

  1  of subsection (5).  A court shall order any person placed in

  5         Section 6.  Section 327.352, Florida Statutes, is

  6  amended to read:

  7         327.352  Breath, blood, and urine tests for alcohol,

  8  chemical substances, or controlled substances; implied

  9  consent; refusal right to refuse.--

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

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

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

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

14  incidence of boating while impaired or intoxicated be

15  established. Therefore, any person who accepts the privilege

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

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

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

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

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

21  determining the alcoholic content of his or her blood or

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

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

24  controlled substances, if the person is lawfully arrested for

25  any offense allegedly committed while the person was operating

26  a vessel while under the influence of alcoholic beverages,

27  chemical substances, or controlled substances.  The chemical

28  or physical breath test must be incidental to a lawful arrest

29  and administered at the request of a law enforcement officer

30  who has reasonable cause to believe such person was operating

31  the vessel within this state while under the influence of

                                  22

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

  2  lawful arrest and administered at a detention facility or any

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

  4  administer such tests at the request of a law enforcement

  5  officer who has reasonable cause to believe such person was

  6  operating a vessel within this state while under the influence

  7  of controlled substances. The urine test shall be administered

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

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

10  reasonable manner that will ensure the accuracy of the

11  specimen and maintain the privacy of the individual involved.

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

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

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

15  his or her breath or urine, or both, is a misdemeanor and, in

16  addition, will result in a civil penalty of $500. The refusal

17  to submit to a chemical or physical breath or urine test upon

18  the request of a law enforcement officer as provided in this

19  section is admissible into evidence in any criminal

20  proceeding.

21         (b)1.  The blood-alcohol level must be based upon grams

22  of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. The breath-alcohol

23  level must be based upon grams of alcohol per 210 liters of

24  breath.

25         2.  An analysis of a person's breath, in order to be

26  considered valid under this section, must have been performed

27  substantially according to methods approved by the Department

28  of Law Enforcement. Any insubstantial differences between

29  approved techniques and actual testing procedures in any

30  individual case do not render the test or test results

31  invalid.

10  Nothing in this section shall be construed to supersede

12  specifications in this section are derived from the power and

13  authority previously and currently possessed by the Department

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

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

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

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

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

21  for the purpose of determining the presence of chemical

22  substances or controlled substances as provided in this

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

24  operating a vessel while under the influence of alcoholic

25  beverages or chemical or controlled substances and the person

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

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

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

29  "other medical facility" includes an ambulance or other

30  medical emergency vehicle. The blood test shall be performed

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

  1  refusal by reason of unconsciousness or other mental or

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

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

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

  5  blood test is a misdemeanor and, in addition, will result in a

  6  civil penalty of $500. The refusal to submit to a blood test

  7  upon the request of a law enforcement officer shall be

  8  admissible in evidence in any criminal proceeding.

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

10  chemical or physical breath test of the person arrested for

11  any offense allegedly committed while the person was operating

12  a vessel while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or

13  controlled substances, the person may request the arresting

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

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

16  the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of the

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

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

19  arresting officer shall have the test performed.

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

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

22  request of a law enforcement officer substantially in

23  accordance with rules of the Department of Law Enforcement.

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

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

26  test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.

27         2.  Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered

28  nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by

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

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

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

                                  27

  1  for the purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the

  2  presence of chemical substances or controlled substances

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

  4  request the withdrawal of blood does not affect the

  5  admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical

  6  purposes.

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

  8  have a physician, registered nurse, other personnel authorized

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

10  laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or technician,

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

12  independent test in addition to the test administered at the

13  direction of the law enforcement officer for the purpose of

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

15  breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled

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

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

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

19  independent test by a person does not preclude the

20  admissibility in evidence of the test taken at the direction

21  of the law enforcement officer. The law enforcement officer

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

23  the independent test and shall provide the person with timely

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

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

26  expense.

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

28  information concerning the test taken at the direction of the

29  law enforcement officer shall be made available to the person

30  or his or her attorney.

  2  similar medical institution or physician, certified paramedic,

  3  registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel

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

  5  clinical laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or

  6  technician, or other person assisting a law enforcement

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

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

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

10  breath pursuant to accepted medical standards when requested

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

12  subject resisted administration of the test.

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

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

15  controlled substance shall not be admissible as evidence in a

16  criminal prosecution for the possession of a controlled

17  substance.

18         (3)  Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to

19  the confidentiality of hospital records or other medical

20  records, information relating to the alcoholic content of the

21  blood or breath or the presence of chemical substances or

22  controlled substances in the blood obtained pursuant to this

23  section shall be released to a court, prosecuting attorney,

24  defense attorney, or law enforcement officer in connection

25  with an alleged violation of s. 327.35 upon request for such

26  information.

27         Section 7.  Subsection (1) of section 327.353, Florida

28  Statutes, is amended to read:

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

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

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

  4  If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe

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

  6  alcoholic beverages, any chemical substances, or any

  7  controlled substances has caused the death or serious bodily

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

  9  request of a law enforcement officer shall require the person

10  operating or in actual physical control of the vessel to

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

12  determining the alcoholic content thereof or the presence of

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

14  substance controlled under chapter 893.  The law enforcement

15  officer may use reasonable force if necessary to require the

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

17  blood test shall be performed in a reasonable manner.

18  Notwithstanding s. 327.352, the testing required by this

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

20  person.

21         (b)  The term "serious bodily injury" means an injury

22  to any person, including the operator, which consists of a

23  physical condition that creates a substantial risk of death,

24  serious personal disfigurement, or protracted loss or

25  impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.

26         (c)  The law enforcement officer shall offer any person

27  subject to a blood test under this subsection the opportunity

28  to submit to an approved chemical test of the person's breath

29  and, if the person submits to the test and a valid reading is

30  obtained, the blood test shall be waived. This paragraph shall

31  not apply to any person who is unconscious or whose mental or

20         (3)  Who was informed that if he or she refused to

21  submit to such test he or she is subject to a fine of $500,
