New York A03981 amends the vehicle and traffic law to update procedures for field testing of drivers suspected of being under the influence of drugs. It includes the use of oral/bodily fluid tests in addition to breath tests. The bill defines impairment and intoxication, and specifies that refusal to submit to such field tests is a traffic infraction. It also mandates that the Division of Criminal Justice Services collect data on traffic stops, arrests, and convictions related to driving while intoxicated or impaired by drugs, and report this data by race, sex, age, and national origin.
