If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test, none shall be given, except as provided in section 291E-21. Upon the law enforcement officer's determination that the person under arrest has refused to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test, if applicable, then a law enforcement officer shall:

under section 291E-41[,] or 291E-65[, or 291E-68]; and
(2) Ask the person if the person still refuses to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test, thereby subjecting the person to the procedures and sanctions under part III or section 291E-65, as applicable;
provided that if the law enforcement officer fails to comply with paragraphs (1) and (2), the person shall not be subject to the refusal sanctions under part III or IV."

["§291E-68 Refusal to submit to a
breath, blood, or urine test; penalty. Except as provided in
section 291E-65, refusal to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test as
required by part II is a petty misdemeanor."]
