Traffic Offense Video Testimony

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows people who perform or analyze chemical tests, such as toxicologists, to testify in court via interactive video in cases related to New Mexico's Implied Consent Act. If a party subpoenas these individuals, they can appear by video, and the defendant is considered to have agreed to this video appearance. The video testimony must allow for full questioning and cross-examination, with the person clearly visible and audible to all involved in the proceeding.
