Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a person from operating, or causing injury or death to a
person by operating, a vehicle, including an all-terrain vehicle, snowmobile, or boat,
while under the influence of an intoxicant. Current law also prohibits a person from
causing injury or death to a person by operating a firearm or airgun while under the
influence of an intoxicant. Current law defines an "intoxicant" as any alcohol
beverage, controlled substance, controlled substance analog or other drug, or any
combination thereof.
This bill broadens the definition of "intoxicant" to include a substance that is
inhaled, ingested, or otherwise consumed in a manner that is contrary to its intended
use or labelling, and that is inhaled, ingested, or otherwise consumed to induce
intoxication or elation, to stupefy the central nervous system, or to change the
human audio, visual, or mental processes.
