Supplementary Order Paper No 25 (released 17 June 2009)

Supplementary Order Paper by clause reference

Explanatory note

This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Land Transport Amendment Bill (No 4) to specifically prohibit the storage and re-analysis of blood specimens taken from drivers failing alcohol breath tests and the newly established drug impairment tests for statistical or research purposes. The ability to conduct research on a person’s blood without their specific informed consent, as provided for under the current provisions of the Bill, breaches accepted and established ethical standards.
