A bill in the Kansas House would mandate that any people - drivers and passengers - involved in "serious" traffic wrecks be required to submit to drug testing. Supporters say changes are needed to make it easier to test people involved in wrecks. Opponents say it is unconstitutional to force someone to submit to a blood or urine test if there is no probable cause to suspect them of a crime. Others say the bill doesn't do enough to define "serious injury." They don't want drug tests ordered for simple fender benders.
