Requires police officers to inform drivers of the consequences of refusing a chemical test for alcohol or drug content, both orally and in writing in.

New York S04971 amends the vehicle and traffic law to mandate that police officers inform drivers of the consequences of refusing a chemical test for alcohol or drug content. This information must be provided both orally and in writing in the driver's preferred language, and an interpreter must be used if necessary. The bill ensures that drivers are fully aware of the legal implications of refusing such tests, which could lead to the suspension or revocation of their driving licenses.
