Admission of evidence shown by tests
Official statutory text
A. Upon the trial of any criminal action or proceeding arising
out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while
driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under
the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substance, or the
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 965
combined influence of alcohol and any other intoxicating substance,
evidence of the alcohol concentration in the blood or breath of the
person as shown by analysis of the blood or breath of the person
performed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 752 and 759
of this title or evidence of the presence or concentration of any
other intoxicating substance as shown by analysis of such person's
blood, breath, saliva, or urine specimens in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 752 and 759 of this title is admissible.
Evidence that the person has refused to submit to a test or tests is
also admissible. For the purpose of this title, when the person is
under the age of twenty-one (21) years, evidence that there was, at
the time of the test, any measurable quantity of alcohol is prima
facie evidence that the person is under the influence of alcohol in
violation of Section 11-906.4 of this title. For persons twenty-one
years of age or older:
1. Evidence that there was, at the time of the test, an alcohol
concentration of five-hundredths (0.05) or less is prima facie
evidence that the person was not under the influence of alcohol;
2. Evidence that there was, at the time of the test, an alcohol
concentration in excess of five-hundredths (0.05) but less than
eight-hundredths (0.08) is relevant evidence that the person's
ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
However, no person shall be convicted of the offense of operating or
being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while such
person's ability to operate such vehicle was impaired by alcohol
solely because there was, at the time of the test, an alcohol
concentration in excess of five-hundredths (0.05) but less than
eight-hundredths (0.08) in the blood or breath of the person in the
absence of additional evidence that such person's ability to operate
such vehicle was affected by alcohol to the extent that the public
health and safety was threatened or that the person had violated a
state statute or local ordinance in the operation of a motor
vehicle; and
3. Evidence that there was, at the time of the test, an alcohol
concentration of eight-hundredths (0.08) or more shall be admitted
as prima facie evidence that the person was under the influence of
alcohol.
B. For purposes of this title, "alcohol concentration" means
grams of alcohol per one hundred (100) milliliters of blood if the
blood was tested, or grams of alcohol per two hundred ten (210)
liters of breath if the breath was tested.
C. To be admissible in a proceeding, the evidence must first be
qualified by establishing that the test was administered to the
person within two (2) hours after the arrest of the person.
D. Upon the trial of any criminal action or proceeding arising
out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while
driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under

the influence of alcohol, the following may be considered as
evidence that the test of the breath of the person was validly
administered in accordance with the rules of the Board of Tests for
Alcohol and Drug Influence:
1. A report, test result or other documentation indicating the
test was performed by an operator holding a permit issued by the
Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence;
2. A report, test result or other documentation indicating the
test was performed after the installation of a dry gas cylinder by
the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence and before the
expiration date of the cylinder;
ort, test result or other documentation indicating the
test was performed by an operator holding a permit issued by the
Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence;
2. A report, test result or other documentation indicating the
test was performed after the installation of a dry gas cylinder by
the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence and before the
expiration date of the cylinder;
3. A report, test result or other documentation reflecting the
results of two breath samples within 0.03g/210L of each other; or
4. A report, test result or other documentation reflecting a
control test within 0.01g/210L of the target value of the control.
E. Results of the test of a the breath or blood of the person,
if admissible, shall be admitted without reference to measurement
uncertainty.
F. 1. At any hearing, documents retained by the Board of Tests
of Alcohol and Drug Influence to reflect maintenance on an
instrument maintained by the Board for the measurement of alcohol
concentration in a person's breath, which have been made available
to the accused by the office of the district attorney at least ten
(10) days prior to the hearing, when certified as correct by the
persons making the report shall be received as evidence of the facts
and findings stated, if relevant and otherwise admissible in
evidence. If a report is deemed relevant by the state or the
accused, the court shall admit the report without the testimony of
the person making the report, unless the court, pursuant to
paragraph 2 of this subsection, orders the person making the report
to appear.

a substantial likelihood that material evidence not contained in
such report may be produced by the testimony of the person having
prepared the report.
