DUI and DMV

The officer stated I refused to take a chemical test. What does this mean?

You are required by law to submit to a chemical test to determine the alcohol and/or drug content of your blood. You did not submit to or complete a blood or breath test after being requested to do so by a peace officer. As of January 1999, a urine test is no longer available unless:

• The officer suspects you were driving under the influence of drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol, or
• Both the blood or breath tests are not available, or
• You are a hemophiliac, or
• You are taking anticoagulant medication in conjunction with a heart condition.
