CA SB1462

Authorizes officers to use preliminary oral fluid screening tests to detect drugs or controlled substances as an investigative tool to establish reasonable cause for driving under the influence violations.

Classifies preliminary oral fluid screening tests as field sobriety tests, similar to existing preliminary alcohol breath screening tests.

Requires officers to advise suspects that oral fluid screening tests are optional and do not satisfy the requirement to submit to chemical testing (blood, breath, or urine).

Clarifies that suspects have the right to refuse preliminary oral fluid screening tests and must be informed of this right before testing.
