a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater, as measured by a
preliminary alcohol screening test or other chemical test.
(b) A person may be found to be in violation of subdivision (a) if the
person was, at the time of driving, on probation for a violation of Section
23152 or 23153, and the trier of fact finds that the person had consumed
an alcoholic beverage and was driving a vehicle with a blood-alcohol concentration
of 0.01 percent or greater, as measured by a preliminary alcohol screening
test or other chemical test.
(c) (1) A person who is on probation for a violation of Section 23152 or

at the direction of a peace officer having reasonable cause to believe
the person is driving a motor vehicle in violation of subdivision (a).
(3) The person shall be told that his or her failure to submit to, or the
failure to complete, a preliminary alcohol screening test or other chemical
