This bill amends K.S.A. 8-1002 to clarify the certification process for law enforcement officers when a person fails or refuses an alcohol or drug test related to driving under the influence. The new language specifies that a test failure can be certified if the officer had reasonable grounds to believe the individual was attempting to operate a vehicle while under the influence. The bill outlines the necessary components of the certification, including the officer's observations and the results of the test, and establishes that the signed certification will be admissible in legal proceedings.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the notice of suspension that must be served to the individual, detailing their rights and the process for requesting an administrative hearing. It also mandates that the division of vehicles review the certification to ensure compliance with the new requirements before proceeding with the suspension of driving privileges. The existing section of K.S.A. 8-1002 is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
