"Drugged Driving" legislation

The Ohio Senate yesterday passed a bill "prohibiting the operation of a vehicle or vessel if a statutorily specificied concentration of amphetamine, cocaine, heroin, L.S.D., marihuana.... is present in the operator's blood or urine."

The bill does not change penalties for those convicted of operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, more commonly known as DUI.
