The current
Pupillometer, called EyeCheck, is the focus of many test programs,
including one initiated by the State of IL 91st General Assembly
Public Act 91-0881. This act amended the
Il Vehicle Code by, among other things, creating a pilot program
to establish the effectiveness of Pupillometer technology as a non-invasive
technique to detect and measure possible impairment of a driver
from fatigue, alcohol, drugs or other intoxicating compounds. Along
the same lines, the State of Il 92nd General Assembly has initiated
State Bill (SB1517) which would require
the Il Dept of Corrections to create and implement a pilot program
to establish the effectiveness of Pupillometry as an alternative
to urine test screening for drugs and alcohol.
The EyeCheck Pupillometer was pronounce, as policy,
by the West Virginia Division of Corrections for Corrections, Parole
and Probation as an alternative to urine screening for drugs, alcohol,
and inhalants. MCJ Inc. has an agreement with the Office of Law
Enforcement Technology Commercialization (OLETC), a branch of the
National Institute of Justice.
MCJ Inc. also has ongoing agreements with the New England College
of Optometry, the University of Illinois School of Medicine (Institutional
Review Board), the Alabama Department of Forensics, and the Minnesota
State Patrol Division of Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, as well
as local and county Law Enforcement and Corrections agencies in
several other states.
