      813.132 Consequences of refusing to take urine test; exception. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a refusal to submit to a urine test requested under ORS 813.131 shall be treated for all purposes as a refusal to submit to a breath test. A suspension imposed for refusal to submit to a urine test under ORS 813.131 (2) shall be consecutive to any other suspension imposed under the Motorist Implied Consent Law. If a person is subject to consecutive suspensions, the length of time that must elapse before the Department of Transportation may reinstate driving privileges or issue a hardship permit under ORS 813.520 shall be doubled.

      (2) If a person refuses to submit to a urine test under ORS 813.131 (2), in addition to information described in ORS 813.130, the person asked to take the test shall be informed that if the person refuses to submit to the test, the person’s driving privileges will be suspended for the same time period and with the same consequences as if the person had refused to submit to the breath test and that a suspension for refusal to submit to the urine test will be consecutive to any other suspension under the Motorist Implied Consent Law.

      (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, no suspension of driving privileges shall be imposed for refusal to submit to a urine test if the person provides documentation from a physician licensed by this state showing that the person has a medical condition that makes it impossible for the person to provide a sample.
