SB 132

If a driver is involved in a collision resulting in death or suspected serious bodily injury, the act requires, with certain exceptions, a law enforcement officer (officer) to offer the driver the opportunity to voluntarily submit to a preliminary alcohol screening test (test) of the driver's breath after the officer advises the driver that they may refuse or agree to provide a sample for the test. If an officer is unable to administer a test because the testing device malfunctions or is unable to produce a valid result, or because the testing device is unavailable due to extenuating circumstances or circumstances beyond the officer's control, the officer is required to document on a required incident report concerning the collision that the test could not be administered and the reason why it could not be administered. The act appropriates $90,000 from the parks and outdoor recreation cash fund and $30,000 from the wildlife cash fund to the department of natural resources for use by the division of Colorado parks and wildlife to implement the act.
