yoming is preparing for about 120 new state laws to take effect this week. July 1st marks the start date for many of the bills the Legislature passed during this year's session. Marsha Sears reports:

One of the most heavily debated bills was the elimination of the implied consent law for suspected drunken drivers. Starting Friday, motorists will lose the right to refuse chemical tests when they are suspected of driving under the influence. The bill also creates a "remotely communicated search warrant." That means a judicial official does not need to be physically present to approve the warrant to force the test. Another law that takes effect on Friday imposes a fine of up to $750 for violating DUI statutes while having a minor passenger in your car.
