§ 3207b. Preliminary screening device
When a law enforcement officer has reason to believe that a person may be violating
or has violated section 3207a of this title, the officer may request the person to provide a sample of breath for a preliminary
screening test using a device approved by the Commissioner of Health for this purpose.
The person shall not have the right to consult an attorney prior to submitting to
this preliminary breath alcohol screening test. The results of this preliminary screening
test may be used for the purpose of deciding whether an arrest should be made and
whether to request an evidentiary test and shall not be used in any court proceeding
except on those issues. Following the screening test, additional tests may be required
of the operator pursuant to the provisions of section 1202 of this title. (Added 1993, No. 234 (Adj. Sess.), § 8, eff. Nov. 1, 1994.)
