The order of suspension is effective thirty days after the date that the order was served unless a timely request for a hearing as provided in this section is filed by the accused person. If the department receives only the certified report of refusal, the department shall notify the person named in the report in writing sent by mail that: 1. Thirty days after the date of issuance of the notice the department will suspend the person's license or permit, driving privilege or nonresident driving privilege. 2. The department will provide an opportunity for a hearing if the person requests a hearing in writing or online and the request is received by the department within thirty days after the notice is sent.

H. The order for suspension shall: 1. Be accompanied by printed forms that are ready to mail to the department, that may be filled out and signed by the person to indicate the person's desire for a hearing and that advise the person that the person may alternatively submit an online request for a hearing. 2. Advise the person that unless the person has surrendered any driver license or permit issued by this state the person's hearing request will not be accepted, except that the person may certify pursuant to section 28-3170 that the license or permit is lost or destroyed. I. On the receipt of a request for a hearing, the department shall set the hearing within sixty days. The department may hold the hearing in person, by telephone or by videoconference. If the department holds the hearing in person, the hearing shall be held in the county in which the person named in the report resides unless the law enforcement agency filing the certified report of refusal pursuant to subsection D of this section requests at the time of its filing that the hearing be held in the county where the refusal occurred. J. A timely request for a hearing stays the suspension until a hearing is held, except that the department shall not return any surrendered license or permit to the person but may issue temporary permits to drive that expire not later than when the department has made its final decision. If the person is a resident without a license or permit or has an expired license or permit, the department may allow the person to apply for a restricted license or permit. If the department determines the person is otherwise entitled to the license or permit, the department shall issue and retain a restricted license or permit subject to this section. K. Hearings requested under this section shall be conducted in the same manner and under the same conditions as provided in section 28-3306. For the purposes of this section, the scope of the hearing shall include only the issues of whether: 1. A law enforcement officer had reasonable grounds to believe that the person was driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle in this state either: (a) While under the influence of intoxicating liquor as prescribed in section 28-1381 or drugs. (b) If the person is under twenty-one years of age, with spirituous liquor in the person's body. 2. The person was placed under arrest. 3. The person refused to submit to the test. 4. The person was informed of the consequences of refusal. L. If the department determines at the hearing to suspend the affected person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, the suspension provided in this section is effective thirty days after giving written notice of the suspension, except that the department may issue or extend a temporary license that expires on the effective date of the suspension. If the person is a resident without a license or permit or has an expired license or permit to operate a motor vehicle in this state, the department shall deny to the person the issuance of a license or permit for a period of twelve months after the order of suspension becomes effective or for a period of two years after the order of suspension becomes effective for a second or subsequent refusal within a period of eighty-four months, and may reinstate the person's driving privilege, license, permit, right to apply for a license or permit or nonresident operating privilege following the period of suspension only if the person completes alcohol or other drug screening. M. If the suspension order is sustained after the hearing, a motion for rehearing is not required. Within thirty days after a suspension order is sustained, the affected person may file a petition in the superior court to review the final order of suspension or denial by the department in the same manner provided in section 28-3317. The court shall hear the review of the final order of suspension or denial on an expedited basis. N. If the suspension or determination that there should be a denial of issuance is not sustained, the ruling is not admissible in and has no effect on any administrative, civil or criminal court proceeding. O. If it has been determined under the procedures of this section that a nonresident's privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this state has been suspended, the department shall give information either in writing or by electronic means of the action taken to the motor vehicle administrator of the state of the person's residence and of any state in which the person has a license. P. After completing any alcohol or other drug screening that is ordered by the department pursuant to this chapter, a person whose driving privilege is suspended pursuant to this section may apply to the department for a special ignition interlock restricted driver license pursuant to section 28-1401. Unless the certified ignition interlock period is extended by the department pursuant to section 28-1461, a person who is issued a special ignition interlock restricted driver license as provided in this subsection shall maintain a functioning certified ignition interlock device in compliance with this chapter during the remaining period of the suspension prescribed by this section. This subsection does not apply to a person whose driving privilege is suspended for a second or subsequent refusal within a period of eighty-four months. Q. Notwithstanding section 28-1401, the department may issue a special ignition interlock restricted driver license to a person for an offense described in subsection A of this section. A person who applies for and who is issued a special ignition interlock restricted driver license pursuant to this subsection agrees to the administrative action taken by the department against the person's license. Once the department issues a special ignition interlock restricted driver license pursuant to this subsection, the person waives any right to an administrative hearing contesting the administrative action against the person's license pursuant to this section or section 28-1385. 28-1322. Preliminary breath tests; rules on approval of devices A. A law enforcement officer who has reasonable suspicion to believe that a person has committed a violation of section 28-1381 or 28-1382 may request that the person submit to a preliminary breath test or tests before an arrest. B. In addition to a breath test or tests, the officer may require that the person submit to further testing pursuant to section 28-1321. C. The director of the department of public safety shall adopt rules prescribing the approval of quantitative preliminary breath testing devices. 28-1323. Admissibility of breath test or other records A. The results of a breath test administered for the purpose of determining a person's alcohol concentration are admissible as evidence in any trial, action or proceeding on establishing the following foundational requirements: 1. The test was performed using a quantitative breath testing device approved by the department of health services or the department of public safety. A properly authenticated certification by the department of health services or the department of public safety or judicial notice of department of health services or department of public safety rules is sufficient to establish this requirement. 2. The operator who conducted the test possessed a valid permit issued by the department of health services or the department of public safety to operate the device used to conduct the test. 3. Duplicate tests were administered and the test results were within 0.02 alcohol concentration of each other or an operator observed the person charged with the violation for twenty minutes immediately preceding the administration of the test. 4. The operator who conducted the test followed an operational checklist approved by the department of health services or the department of public safety for the operation of the device used to conduct the test. The testimony of the operator is sufficient to establish this requirement. 5. The device used to conduct the test was in proper operating condition. Records of periodic maintenance that show that the device was in proper operating condition are admissible in any proceeding as prima facie evidence that the device was in proper operating condition at the time of the test. Calibration checks with a standard alcohol concentration solution bracketing each person's duplicate breath test are one type of records of periodic maintenance that satisfies the requirements of this section. The records are public records. B. Compliance with subsection A of this section is the only requirement for the admission in evidence of a breath test result. C. The inability of any person to obtain manufacturer's schematics and software for a quantitative breath testing device that is approved as prescribed in subsection A of this section shall not affect the admissibility of the results of a breath test pursuant to this section. D. Records that may be obtained or that are otherwise maintained pursuant to section 28-1327 are admissible as evidence in any trial, action or proceeding. 28-1324. Breath test rules The director of the department of public safety shall adopt rules prescribing methods and procedures for the administration of breath tests to determine alcohol concentration. The rules shall include: 1. The approval of quantitative breath testing devices. 2. Procedures for ensuring the accuracy of results obtained from approved breath testing devices. 3. Qualifications for persons who conduct breath tests. 4. Qualifications for persons who instruct others in the operation of breath testing devices. 28-1325. Breath test operator permits A. The director of the department of public safety shall issue permits to operators who have received approved instruction and who have demonstrated their ability to accurately operate an approved breath testing device. B. The director of the department of public safety may revoke the permit of a person who fails to operate a breath testing device according to the rules adopted by the director of the department of public safety. 28-1326. Blood test; rules; permits A. The director of the department of public safety shall adopt rules prescribing the approval of methods for the analysis of blood or other bodily substances to determine blood alcohol concentration. B. The director of the department of public safety shall issue a permit to an analyst who has demonstrated the ability to accurately analyze blood or other bodily substances for alcohol concentration. C. The director of the department of public safety may revoke the permit of an analyst who either: 1. Has demonstrated an inability to accurately analyze blood or other bodily substances for alcohol concentration. 2. Fails to analyze blood or other bodily substances for alcohol concentration according to rules adopted by the director of the department of health services. 28-1327. Reproduction of records; admissibility; computer storage; definition A. The head of a law enforcement agency or the director of the department of health services may place on computer storage any records concerning a quantitative breath testing device. Signatures that are found on the records do not have to be placed on computer storage. B. A duplicate of any information that is placed on computer storage pursuant to subsection A is deemed to be an original of the record for all purposes and is admissible without further foundation in evidence if the following appears on each page: Pursuant to section 28-1327, Arizona Revised Statutes, this document is a certified duplicate of the information contained in computer storage devices of the (name of agency). C. For the purposes of this section, "duplicate" means a counterpart produced by any of the following: 1. The same impression or from the same matrix as the original. 2. Means of photography, including enlargements and miniatures. 3. Mechanical or electronic rerecording. 4. Chemical reproduction. 5. Any other equivalent technique that accurately reproduces the original. 28-1381.

It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances: 1. While under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree. 2. If the person has an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more within two hours of driving or being in actual physical control of the vehicle and the alcohol concentration results from alcohol consumed either before or while driving or being in actual physical control of the vehicle. 3. While there is any drug defined in section 13-3401 or its metabolite in the person's body. 4. If the vehicle is a commercial motor vehicle that requires a person to obtain a commercial driver license as defined in section 28-3001 and the person has an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more. 5.

B. It is not a defense to a charge of a violation of subsection A, paragraph 1 of this section that the person is or has been entitled to use the drug under the laws of this state. C. A person who is convicted of a violation of this section is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor. D. A person using a drug as prescribed by a medical practitioner who is licensed pursuant to title 32 and who is authorized to prescribe the drug is not guilty of violating subsection A, paragraph 3 of this section. E. In any prosecution for a violation of this section, the state shall allege, for the purpose of classification and sentencing pursuant to this section, all prior convictions of violating this section, section 28-1382 or section 28-1383 occurring within the past thirty-six months, unless there is an insufficient legal or factual basis to do so. F. At the arraignment, the court shall inform the defendant that the defendant may request a trial by jury and that the request, if made, shall be granted. G. In a trial, action or proceeding for a violation of this section or section 28-1383 other than a trial, action or proceeding involving a person who is driving or in actual physical control of a commercial motor vehicle or a vehicle for hire as defined in section 28-9501 or involving a person who is providing transportation network services as defined in section 28-9551 as a transportation network company driver as defined in section 28-9551, the defendant's alcohol concentration within two hours of the time of driving or being in actual physical control as shown by analysis of the defendant's blood, breath or other bodily substance gives rise to the following presumptions: 1. If there was at that time 0.05 or less alcohol concentration in the defendant's blood, breath or other bodily substance, it may be presumed that the defendant was not under the influence of intoxicating liquor. 2. If there was at that time in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08 alcohol concentration in the defendant's blood, breath or other bodily substance, that fact shall not give rise to a presumption that the defendant was or was not under the influence of intoxicating liquor, but that fact may be considered with other competent evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant. 3. If there was at that time 0.08 or more alcohol concentration in the defendant's blood, breath or other bodily substance, it may be presumed that the defendant was under the influence of intoxicating liquor. H. Subsection G of this section does not limit the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing on the question of whether or not the defendant was under the influence of intoxicating liquor. I. A person who is convicted of a violation of this section: 1.

Shall pay an additional assessment of $500 to be deposited by the state treasurer in the public safety equipment fund established by section 41-1723. This assessment is not subject to any surcharge. If the conviction occurred in the superior court or a justice court, the court shall transmit the assessed monies to the county treasurer. If the conviction occurred in a municipal court, the court shall transmit the assessed monies to the city treasurer. The city or county treasurer shall transmit the monies received to the state treasurer. 6. If the violation involved intoxicating liquor, shall be required by the department, on report of the conviction, to equip any motor vehicle the person operates with a certified ignition interlock device pursuant to section 28-3319. In addition, the court may order the person to equip any motor vehicle the person operates with a certified ignition interlock device for more than twelve months beginning on the date the person successfully completes the alcohol or other drug screening, education or treatment program or evidence-based psychotherapy requirements of this title and the person is otherwise eligible to reinstate the person's driver license or driving privilege. The person who operates a motor vehicle with a certified ignition interlock device under this paragraph shall comply with article 5 of this chapter. 7.
