Colorado SB132, known as Magnus Law, mandates law enforcement officers to offer voluntary alcohol breath tests to drivers involved in collisions.

Colorado SB132, also known as Magnus Law, requires law enforcement officers to offer a voluntary preliminary screening test for alcohol to drivers involved in collisions resulting in serious injury or death. The test is voluntary, and refusal does not affect the driver's license status. The law aims to ensure consistent investigation practices and preserve evidence of impairment, honoring the memory of Magnus White, a cyclist killed in a collision where the driver's sobriety was not tested. The law takes effect on August 12, 2026, unless a referendum petition is filed.
