This new law prohibits a convicted DUI offender from operating a
motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level (BAC) of .01 percent or
greater while on probation for DUI. The law requires the driver to
submit to a Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) test, a portable breath
test to determine the presence of alcohol. If the driver refuses, or if
the driver submits and has a BAC of .01 or greater, a citation will be
issued, the driver's license will be taken and driving privileges will
be suspended. In addition, the vehicle will be impounded.
