Chairman Manning moved an amendment to Senate Bill 55 that adds an inference a person is under the influence of marijuana if they have a concentration of at least 5 nanograms of delta‑9‑THC per milliliter of oral fluid.

“Last year, we allowed law enforcement to use oral fluids as a testing mechanism, and this just puts it on par with the bill on urine,” the chair said. Committee members had no objections, and the chair stated, “Seeing no objection, the amendment will become part of the bill.”

Written opponent testimony from DUID Victims Voices was entered into the record; the committee recorded this as the bill’s third hearing. No roll-call vote was recorded on the amendment in the transcript.
