Qué contiene
Resumen con IA People arrested for driving under the influence will be allowed to have a private phone call with a lawyer before deciding whether to take a breath test. This change ensures that the call is not recorded and that no police officers are listening in. Currently, officers are allowed to be present during these types of calls.

This bill relates to communications by arrested persons.2 (operating while under the influence of alcohol or a drug) shall be allowed to have a private, unrecorded telephone call with an attorney for the purpose of determining whether the person will consent or refuse to provide a chemical breath test sample as requested by a peace officer. Current law provides that if a call is made, it shall be made in the presence of the person having custody of the person arrested or restrained, and an attorney shall be permitted to see and consult confidentially with such person alone and in private at the jail or other place of custody without unreasonable delay. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855.
