Introduced by Rep. Stephen Adamini (D) on June 10, 2003, to authorize police to order breathalyzer tests on a minor if they have any reasonable cause to believe the minor has any bodily alcohol content. This would expand the scope of the minor in possession law to cover a minor who legally drank in a jurisdiction with a lower drinking age (Canada) and then traveled to Michigan while still under the influence.
Referred to the House Regulatory Reform Committee on June 10, 2003.
Reported in the House on June 24, 2003, without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
