What it does

Current law prohibits a person from operating a motor vehicle while any amount of a controlled substance is present in the person, as measured in the person’s blood or urine. This prohibition does not apply if the substance was prescribed for the person and was taken under the prescription and in accordance with the directions of a medical practitioner or if the substance was dispensed by a pharmacist without a prescription pursuant to the rules of the board of pharmacy, if there is no evidence of the consumption of alcohol and the medical practitioner or pharmacist had not directed the person to refrain from operating a motor vehicle.
