13388
. (a) If a peace officer lawfully detains a person under 21
years of age who is driving a motor vehicle, and the officer has
reasonable cause to believe that the person is in violation of
Section 23136, the officer shall request that the person take a
preliminary alcohol screening test to determine the presence of
alcohol in the person, if a preliminary alcohol screening test device
is immediately available. If a preliminary alcohol screening test
device is not immediately available, the officer may request the
person to submit to chemical testing of his or her blood, breath, or
urine, conducted pursuant to Section 23612.
(b) If the person refuses to take, or fails to complete, the
preliminary alcohol screening test or refuses to take or fails to
complete a chemical test if a preliminary alcohol device is not
immediately available, or if the person takes the preliminary alcohol
screening test and that test reveals a blood-alcohol concentration
of 0.01 percent or greater, or if the results of a chemical test
reveal a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, the
officer shall proceed as follows:
(1) The officer, acting on behalf of the department, shall serve
the person with a notice of an order of suspension of the person's
driving privilege.
(2) The officer shall take possession of any driver's license
issued by this state which is held by the person. When the officer
takes possession of a valid driver's license, the officer shall
issue, on behalf of the department, a temporary driver's license. The
temporary driver's license shall be an endorsement on the notice of
the order of suspension and shall be valid for 30 days from the date
of issuance, or until receipt of the order of suspension from the
department, whichever occurs first.
(3) The officer immediately shall forward a copy of the completed
notice of order of suspension form, and any driver's license taken
into possession under paragraph (2), with the report required by
Section 13380, to the department. For the purposes of this paragraph,
"immediately" means on or before the end of the fifth ordinary
business day after the notice of order of suspension was served.
(c) For the purposes of this section, a preliminary alcohol
screening test device is an instrument designed and used to measure
the presence of alcohol in a person based on a breath sample.
