## Abstract

This rule removes criminal penalty provisions that are outdated and unnecessary under federal statute. The rule also clarifies--consistent with recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court-- that, absent exigent circumstances, a search warrant is necessary to require a motor vehicle operator to submit to a blood test (rather than a breath or urine test) to measure blood alcohol and drug content.
