   treatment for a motor vehicle accident.  Requires that  in  order  for      
   there  to  be  implied  consent  of a breath, blood, or urine test for      
   alcohol or drugs following a personal injury or fatal motor  accident,

        Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois      
   Vehicle Code. In the Section concerning the reporting of blood or           
   urine tests conducted in the course of providing emergency medical          
   treatment, provides that test results shall be reported to the Depart-

   that a hospital shall disclose, upon request, (instead of report in         
   all instances) the blood alcohol concentration levels of persons in         
   specified  cases  to  the  Department  of  State  Police  or local law      
   enforcement agencies.                                                       
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

   blood  or  urine  test  is  conducted  on  a  person receiving medical      
   treatment in a hospital  emergency  room  following  a  motor  vehicle      
   accident  and  the  person's blood alcohol content is discovered to be      
   greater than 0.08 or there is any trace  of  specified  drugs  in  the      
   person's  blood,  the results shall be  reported to the  Department of      
   State Police or the local law enforcement agency.
