3 differences between approved techniques and actual testing
4 procedures in any individual case do not render the test or
5 test results invalid.
6 (c) Any person who accepts the privilege extended by
7 the laws of this state of operating a motor vehicle within
8 this state is, by operating such vehicle, deemed to have given
9 his or her consent to submit to an approved blood test for the
10 purpose of determining the alcoholic content of the blood or a
11 blood test for the purpose of determining the presence of
12 chemical substances or controlled substances as provided in

14 person was driving or in actual physical control of a motor
15 vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or
16 chemical or controlled substances and the person appears for
17 treatment at a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility and
18 the administration of a breath or urine test is impractical or
19 impossible. As used in this paragraph, the term "other medical
20 facility" includes an ambulance or other medical emergency
21 vehicle. The blood test shall be performed in a reasonable
22 manner. Any person who is incapable of refusal by reason of
23 unconsciousness or other mental or physical condition is
24 deemed not to have withdrawn his or her consent to such test.
25 A blood test may be administered whether or not the person is
26 told that his or her failure to submit to such a blood test
27 will result in the suspension of the person's privilege to
28 operate a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this state
29 and that a refusal to submit to a lawful test of his or her

3 submit to such a blood test will result in the suspension of
4 the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a period
5 of 1 year for a first refusal, or for a period of 18 months if
6 the driving privilege of the person has been suspended
7 previously as a result of a refusal to submit to such a test
8 or tests, and that a refusal to submit to a lawful test of his
9 or her blood, if his or her driving privilege has been
10 previously suspended for a prior refusal to submit to a lawful
11 test of his or her breath, urine, or blood, is a misdemeanor.
12 The refusal to submit to a blood test upon the request of a
13 law enforcement officer is admissible in evidence in any
14 criminal proceeding.
15 (d) If the arresting officer does not request a
16 chemical or physical breath test of the person arrested for
17 any offense allegedly committed while the person was driving
18 or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while
19 under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled
20 substances, such person may request the arresting officer to
21 have a chemical or physical test made of the arrested person's
22 breath or a test of the urine or blood for the purpose of
23 determining the alcoholic content of the person's blood or
24 breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled
25 substances; and, if so requested, the arresting officer shall
26 have the test performed.
27 (e)1. By applying for a driver's license and by

12 accordance with rules of the Department of Law Enforcement.
13 Such rules must specify precisely the test or tests that are
14 approved by the Department of Law Enforcement for reliability
15 of result and ease of administration, and must provide an
16 approved method of administration which must be followed in
17 all such tests given under this section. However, the failure
18 of a law enforcement officer to request the withdrawal of
19 blood does not affect the admissibility of a test of blood
20 withdrawn for medical purposes.
21 2.a. Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered
22 nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by
23 a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory

25 the request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood
26 for the purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the
27 presence of chemical substances or controlled substances

31 purposes.

6 performed in the course of that medical treatment, that the
7 person's blood-alcohol level meets or exceeds the
8 blood-alcohol level specified in s. 316.193(1)(b), the health
9 care provider may notify any law enforcement officer or law
10 enforcement agency. Any such notice must be given within a
11 reasonable time after the health care provider receives the
12 test result. Any such notice shall be used only for the
13 purpose of providing the law enforcement officer with
14 reasonable cause to request the withdrawal of a blood sample
15 pursuant to this section.
16 c. The notice shall consist only of the name of the
17 person being treated, the name of the person who drew the

19 date and time of the administration of the test.
20 d. Nothing contained in s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or
21 any applicable practice act affects the authority to provide
22 notice under this section, and the health care provider is not
23 considered to have breached any duty owed to the person under
24 s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any applicable practice act by
25 providing notice or failing to provide notice. It shall not be
26 a breach of any ethical, moral, or legal duty for a health
27 care provider to provide notice or fail to provide notice.

7 respect to participating in any judicial proceedings resulting
8 from the notice or failure to provide notice.
9 3. The person tested may, at his or her own expense,
10 have a physician, registered nurse, other personnel authorized
11 by a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical
12 laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or technician,
13 or other person of his or her own choosing administer an
14 independent test in addition to the test administered at the
15 direction of the law enforcement officer for the purpose of
16 determining the amount of alcohol in the person's blood or
17 breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled
18 substances at the time alleged, as shown by chemical analysis
19 of his or her blood or urine, or by chemical or physical test
20 of his or her breath. The failure or inability to obtain an
21 independent test by a person does not preclude the
22 admissibility in evidence of the test taken at the direction
23 of the law enforcement officer. The law enforcement officer
24 shall not interfere with the person's opportunity to obtain

14 However, the failure of a law enforcement officer to request
15 the withdrawal of blood does not affect the admissibility of a
16 test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
17 2. Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered
18 nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by
19 a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
20 director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at

27 purposes.

6 substances at the time alleged, as shown by chemical analysis
7 of his or her blood or urine, or by chemical or physical test
8 of his or her breath. The failure or inability to obtain an
9 independent test by a person does not preclude the
10 admissibility in evidence of the test taken at the direction
11 of the law enforcement officer. The law enforcement officer
12 shall not interfere with the person's opportunity to obtain
13 the independent test and shall provide the person with timely
14 telephone access to secure the test, but the burden is on the
15 person to arrange and secure the test at the person's own
16 expense.
