(b) A person arrested for a crime described in section 5.15(1) or (3) shall be advised of all the following:

(i) That if he or she takes a chemical test of his or her blood, urine or breath administered at the request of a peace officer, he or she has the right to demand that a person of his or her own choosing administer one of the chemical tests, that the results of the test are admissible in a judicial proceeding as provided under Act No. 300 of the Public Acts of 1949, as amended, and shall be considered with other competent evidence in determining the innocence or guilt of the defendant, and that he or she is responsible for obtaining a chemical analysis of a test sample obtained pursuant to his or her own request.

(ii) That if he or she refuses the request of a peace officer to take a test described in subparagraph (i), a test shall not be given without a court order, but the peace officer may seek to obtain such a court order.

Only a licensed physician, or a licensed nurse or medical technician under the direction of a licensed physician and qualified to withdraw blood and acting in a medical environment, at the request of a peace officer, may withdraw blood at a peace officer's request to determine the amount of alcohol or presence of a controlled substance or both in the person's blood, as provided in this subsection. Liability for a crime or civil damages predicated on the act of withdrawing or analyzing blood and related procedures shall not attach to a qualified person who withdraws or analyzes blood or assists in the withdrawal or analysis in accordance with Act No. 300 of the Public Acts of 1949, as amended, unless the withdrawal or analysis is performed in a negligent manner.

(d) A chemical test described in this subsection shall be administered at the request of a peace officer having reasonable grounds to believe the person has committed a crime described in section 5.15.

If the person charged is administered a chemical test by a person of his or her own choosing, the person charged shall be responsible for obtaining a chemical analysis of the test sample.

(e) If, after an accident, the driver of a vehicle involved in the accident is transported to a medical facility and a sample of the driver's blood is withdrawn at that time for the purpose of medical treatment, the results of a chemical analysis of that sample shall be admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding to show the amount of alcohol or presence of a controlled substance or both in the person's blood at the time alleged, regardless of whether the person had been offered or had refused a chemical test. The medical facility or person performing the chemical analysis shall disclose the results of the analysis to a prosecuting attorney who requests the results for use in a criminal prosecution as provided in this subdivision. A medical facility or person disclosing information in compliance with this subsection shall not be civilly or criminally liable for making the disclosure.

The medical examiner shall give the results of the chemical analysis of the sample to the law enforcement agency investigating the accident, and that agency shall forward the results to the department of state police.

(4) The provisions of subsection (3) relating to chemical testing do not limit the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing upon the question of whether or not a person was impaired by, or under the influence of, intoxication liquor or a controlled substance, or a combination of intoxicating liquor and a controlled substance, or whether the person had an alcohol content of 0.10 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine, or if the person is less than 21 years of age, whether the person had any bodily alcohol content within his or her body.

(5) If a chemical test described in subsection (3) is administered, the test results shall be made available to the person charged or the person's attorney upon written request to the prosecution, with a copy of the request filed with the court. The prosecution shall furnish the results at least 2 days before the day of the trial. The prosecutor shall offer the test results as evidence in that trial. Failure to fully comply with the request shall bar the admission of the results into evidence by the prosecution.

(6) Except in a prosecution relating solely to a violation of section 5.15(1)(b), the amount of alcohol in the driver's blood, breath or urine at the time alleged as shown by chemical analysis of the person's blood, breath or urine shall give rise to the following presumptions:

(a) If there were at the time 0.07 grams or less of alcohol per 100 milliliters of defendant's blood, per 210 liters of the defendant's breath or per 67 milliliters of the defendant's urine, it is presumed that the defendant's ability to operate a motor vehicle was not impaired due to the consumption of intoxicating liquor, and that the defendant was not under the influence of intoxicating liquor.

(b) If there were at the time more than 0.07 grams but less than 0.10 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of in the defendant's blood, per 210 liters of the defendant's breath, or per 67 milliliters of the defendant's urine, it shall be presumed that the defendant's ability to operate a vehicle was impaired with the provisions of section 5.15(3) due to the consumption of intoxicating liquor.

(c) If there were at the time 0.10 grams or more of alcohol per 100 milliliters of the defendant's blood, per 210 liters of the defendant's breath, or per 67 milliliters of the defendant's urine, it is presumed that the defendant was under the influence of intoxicating liquor.

(7) A person's refusal to submit to a chemical test as provided in subsection (3) shall be admissible in a criminal prosecution for a crime described in section 5.15 only to show that a test was offered to the defendant, but not as evidence in determining the defendant's innocence or guilt.

Not more than one adjournment shall be granted to a party, and the length of an adjournment shall not exceed 14 days.

(3) Except for delay attributable to the unavailability of the defendant, a witness, or material evidence, or due to all interlocutory appeal or exceptional circumstances, but not a delay caused by docket congestion, the court shall finally adjudicate, by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, entry of a verdict, or other final disposition, a case in which the defendant is charged with a misdemeanor violation of section 5.15(1), (3) or (4) within 77 days after the person is arrested for the violation or, if an arrest warrant is issued or reissued, not more than 77 days after the date the issued or reissued arrest warrant is served, whichever is later.

As part of the sentence, the court may order the person to participate in and successfully complete 1 or more appropriate rehabilitative programs. The person shall pay for the costs of the screening, assessment, and rehabilitative services.
