WI SB678

Law enforcement officers may now request oral fluid samples in addition to breath samples for preliminary screening tests when they have probable cause to believe a person is operating a vehicle while intoxicated

Applies to operators of motor vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, utility terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles, boats, and snowmobiles

Oral fluid samples may only be collected and retained for the purpose of conducting the preliminary screening test, and must be destroyed or returned to the person after testing

Preliminary screening test results remain inadmissible as evidence except to establish probable cause for arrest or to show a chemical test was properly required

Officers may use preliminary screening results to decide whether to arrest or request a formal chemical test under existing implied consent laws
