Died when the session ended The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary When a driver dies in a car accident, a county medical examiner must take a blood sample to check for alcohol or drugs. The state laboratory will test this sample and keep the results to help track statistics. To protect privacy, any public information released from these tests cannot include the person's identity.1

Read the official explanation

This bill classifies the death of a driver involved in a motor vehicle accident as a death affecting the public interest. The bill requires a county medical examiner to withdraw a sample of blood from a deceased driver involved in a motor vehicle accident and provide the sample to the Iowa division of criminal investigation criminalistics laboratory. The bill requires the Iowa division of criminal investigation criminalistics laboratory to test the sample for the purpose of determining the alcohol concentration or presence of a controlled substance or other drugs, or any combination thereof, in the decedent’s blood. The bill directs the Iowa division of criminal investigation criminalistics laboratory to retain the results of the testing for statistical purposes. Information obtained under the bill shall only be released as a public record for statistical purposes if individual identities are not ascertainable.
