  5.4   offered and action may be taken against a person who refuses to 
  5.5   take a urine test only if an alternative test was offered.

  5.14  believe that the person has violated section 609.21, a test may 
  5.15  be required and obtained despite the person's refusal.  A 
  5.16  refusal to submit to an alcohol concentration test does not 
  5.17  constitute a violation of section 609.50, unless the refusal was

  5.30  schedule I or II, other than marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinols. 
  5.31     (c) Upon certification by the peace officer that there 
  5.32  existed probable cause to believe the person had been driving, 
  5.33  operating, or in physical control of a motor vehicle in 
  5.34  violation of section 169.121 and that the person refused to 
  5.35  submit to a test, the commissioner of public safety shall revoke 
  5.36  the person's license or permit to drive, or nonresident 
  6.1   operating privilege, for a period of one year even if a test was 
  6.2   obtained pursuant to this section after the person refused to 
  6.3   submit to testing.

  6.16  violation of section 169.121 and that the person submitted to a 
  6.17  test and the test results indicate an alcohol concentration of 
  6.18  0.10 or more or the presence of a controlled substance listed in 
  6.19  schedule I or II, other than marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinols, 
  6.20  then the commissioner of public safety shall revoke the person's 
  6.21  license or permit to drive, or nonresident operating privilege: 
  6.22     (1) for a period of 90 days; or 
  6.23     (2) if the person is under the age of 21 years, for a

  6.35  test and the test results indicated an alcohol concentration of 
  6.36  0.04 or more, the commissioner of public safety shall disqualify 
  7.1   the person from operating a commercial motor vehicle under
