What is a Chemical Test?
A chemical test usually includes a breath, blood and/or urine test. Breath tests usually require that you breathe into a Colorado state approved machine testing machine. Blood tests are administered by drawing blood with a needle from your arm. Urine tests are administered by collecting a urine sample.
“Chemical testing” means an evidential breath or blood test regulated by Title 17. Implied consent requires a urine test under two circumstances: (1) if no blood or breath test is available and (2) if an officer suspects you are under the influence of drugs. The implied consent law does not require you to take a PBT or PAS test at the scene of the stop.
