2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 488 - Watercraft|NRS 488.450 - Implied consent to preliminary test of breath; failure to submit to test; use of results of test.

  1. Any person who operates or is in actual physical control of a vessel under power or sail on the waters of this State shall be deemed to have given consent to a preliminary test of his or her breath to determine the concentration of alcohol in his or her breath when the test is administered at the request of a peace officer after a vessel accident or collision or where an officer stops a vessel, if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be tested was:  (a) Operating or in actual physical control of a vessel under power or sail while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance; or  (b) Engaging in any other conduct prohibited by NRS 488.410, 488.420 or 488.425.  2. If the person fails to submit to the test, the officer shall, if reasonable grounds otherwise exist, arrest the person and take him or her to a convenient place for the administration of a reasonably available evidentiary test under NRS 488.460.  3. The result of the preliminary test must not be used in any criminal action, except to show there were reasonable grounds to make an arrest.  (Added to NRS by 1997, 329; A 1999, 2464, 3432; 2001, 172; 2005, 157; 2015, 2542)

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 488 - Watercraft|NRS 488.470 - Requirements for evidentiary test of breath to determine concentration of alcohol in breath; refusal or failure to submit to test.

 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, an evidentiary test of breath to determine the concentration of alcohol in a person’s breath may be used to establish that concentration only if two consecutive samples of the person’s breath are taken and:  (a) The difference between the concentration of alcohol in the person’s breath indicated by the two samples is less than or equal to 0.02;  (b) If the provisions of paragraph (a) do not apply, a third evidentiary test of breath is administered and the difference between the concentration of alcohol in the person’s breath indicated by the third sample and one of the first two samples is less than or equal to 0.02; or  (c) If the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply, a fourth evidentiary test is administered. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 488.460, the fourth evidentiary test must be a blood test.  2. If the person fails to provide the second or third consecutive sample, or to submit to the fourth evidentiary test, the results of the first test may be used alone as evidence of the concentration of alcohol in the person’s breath. If for some other reason a second, third or fourth sample is not obtained, the results of the first test may be used with all other evidence presented to establish the concentration.  3. If a person refuses or otherwise fails to provide a second or third consecutive sample or submit to a fourth evidentiary test, such refusal or failure constitutes a failure to submit to a required evidentiary test as provided in NRS 488.460.

  1. If a person refuses to submit to a required chemical test provided for in NRS 488.450 or 488.460, evidence of that refusal is admissible in any criminal action arising out of acts alleged to have been committed while the person was:  (a) Operating or in actual physical control of a vessel under power or sail while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance; or  (b) Engaging in any other conduct prohibited by NRS 488.410, 488.420 or 488.425.  2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NRS 488.450, a court may not exclude evidence of a required test or failure to submit to such a test if the peace officer or other person substantially complied with the provisions of NRS 488.450 to 488.500, inclusive.  3.

Evidence of a required test is not admissible in a criminal proceeding unless it is shown by documentary or other evidence that the device for testing breath was certified pursuant to NRS 484C.610 and was calibrated, maintained and operated as provided by the regulations of the Committee on Testing for Intoxication adopted pursuant to NRS 484C.620, 484C.630 or 484C.640.  5. If the device for testing breath has been certified by the Committee on Testing for Intoxication to be accurate and reliable pursuant to NRS 484C.610, it is presumed that, as designed and manufactured, the device is accurate and reliable for the purpose of testing a person’s breath to determine the concentration of alcohol in the person’s breath.  6. A court shall take judicial notice of the certification by the Director of a person to operate testing devices of one of the certified types. If a test to determine the amount of alcohol in a person’s breath has been performed with a certified type of device by a person who is certified pursuant to NRS 484C.630 or 484C.640, it is presumed that the person operated the device properly.  7. This section does not preclude the admission of evidence of a test of a person’s breath where the:  (a) Information is obtained through the use of a device other than one of a type certified by the Committee on Testing for Intoxication.  (b) Test has been performed by a person other than one who is certified by the Director.  8. As used in this section, "Director" means the Director of the Department of Public Safety.
