H.B. 5152 An Act Concerning a Study to Determine a Way to Detect When a Driver is Under the Influence of Marijuana

Before Connecticut rushes into implementing a roadside test for marijuana, the state should study all options and consult experts in the area to ensure that people’s rights are not violated by the use of such tests.

Before Connecticut rushes into implementing a roadside test for marijuana, it is wise for the state to study all potential options and consult experts in the area. As an organization that works to protect the civil liberties of Connecticut residents, the ACLU-CT believes that the state should conduct a study to explore the efficacy of roadside marijuana tests to ensure that people’s rights are not violated by the use of such tests. Therefore, we support House Bill 5152, which would initiate such a study.
