Introduced Text

Kansas SB326 allows law enforcement officers to certify alcohol or drug test failures if they reasonably believe the person was operating a vehicle.

Kansas SB326 amends the state's driving under the influence laws to allow law enforcement officers to certify alcohol or drug test failures if they reasonably believe the person was operating or attempting to operate a vehicle. This certification can occur when the person is in custody or if a subsequent analysis of a breath, blood, or urine sample shows a test failure. The officer must serve a notice of suspension of driving privileges and provide information on the right to an administrative hearing.
