Peace officers authorized to use oral fluid screening of drivers to determine presence of drugs.

This bill authorizes Minnesota peace officers to use oral fluid screening devices to detect drugs in drivers suspected of driving while impaired. It allows officers to require a preliminary breath or oral fluid test when they have reason to believe a driver is violating impaired driving laws, including those involving commercial vehicles. If the screening test indicates drug presence or a high alcohol level, officers can then require a more comprehensive chemical test of blood, breath, or urine. The law also expands implied consent conditions to include situations where a screening test shows the presence of controlled substances or intoxicating substances.
