A 4519 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to saliva swabs and chemical tests in certain cases

This bill amends New York's vehicle and traffic law to clarify the procedures for using saliva swabs and chemical tests in cases involving driving under the influence. It allows police officers to request saliva swabs or breath tests from drivers involved in accidents or suspected of violating traffic laws, and it establishes when a driver's consent to chemical testing is deemed given. The legislation also outlines specific conditions under which a driver can be detained without arrest to undergo testing and details how a refusal to submit to such tests is reported and handled. Finally, the bill includes provisions regarding the suspension or revocation of driving privileges for those who refuse to take the required tests.
