SB12 changes the rules for when the state can suspend a commercial driver's license (CDL) if a driver refuses to take a breath or blood test during a DUI stop. The bill revises what counts as a valid refusal and adjusts the penalties or procedures for CDL holders who don't consent to chemical testing. This affects truck drivers and other commercial vehicle operators who face stricter licensing requirements than regular drivers.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
