such analysis.
(g) Upon the request of the person whose blood or breath sample was taken
for a chemical test to determine the alcoholic ~ntent of his blood, the results
of such test or tests shall be made available to him.
(h) A fee not exceeding ten dollars shall be allOwed the person withdrawing
a blood sample in accordance with this section, which fee shall be paid out
of the appropriation for criminal charges. If the person whose blood sample
was withdrawn is subsequently convicted for violation of section 6-77 the
amount charged by the person withdrawing the sample shall be taxed as part of
the costs of the Criminal case and shall be paid into the general fund of the
State treasury.
(i) In any trial for a violation of Section 6-77 this section shall not
otherwise limit the introduction cf any relevant evidence bearing upon any
question at issue before the court, and the court shall, regardless of the
result of the blood or breath test, or tests, if any, consider such other
relevant evidence of the condition of the accused as shall be admissible in
evidence. The failure of an accused to permit a sample of his blood or
breath to be taken for a chemical test to determine the alcOholic content
of his blood is not evidence and shall not be subject to comment at the trial
of the case~ nor shall the fact that a blood or breath test had been offered
the accused be evidence or the subject of comment.
(j) The form referred to in paragraph (c) shall contain a brief statement
of the law requiring the taking of a blood or breath sample and the penalty
for refusal, a declaration of refusal and lines for the signature of the
person from whom the blood or breath sample is sought, the date and the signature
of a witness to the signing. If such person refuses or fails to execute such
declaration, the committing justice, clerk or assistant clerk shall certify
that, and that the committing justice, clerk or assistant clerk advised the
person arrested that such refusal or failure, if found to be unreasonable,
constitutes grounds for the revocation of such person's license to drive. The
committing or issuing justice, clerk or assistant clerk shall forthwith issue
a warrant, charging the person refusing to take the test to determine the
alcoholic content of his blood, with violation of this section. The warrant
shall be executed in the same manner as criminal warrants.
(k) The executed declaration of refusal or the certificate of the committing
justice, ~ the case may be, shall be attached to the~arrant and shall be
forwarded by the committing justice, clerk or assistant clerk to the court
in which the offense of driving under the influence of intoxicants shall be tried.
(1) When the court receives the declaration of refusal or certificate
referred to in paragraph (k) together with the warrant charging the defendant
with refusing to submit to having a sample of his blood or breath taken for
the determination of the alcoholic content of his blood, the court shall fix
a date for the trial of such warrant, at such time as the court shall designate,
but subsequent to the defendent's criminal trial for driving under the influenc~
of intoxicants.
(m) The declaration of refusal or certificate under paragraph (k), as
the case may be, shall be prima facie evidence that the defendant refused to
submit to the taking of a sample of his blood or breath to determine the
alcoholic content of his blood as provided hereinabove. However, this shall
not be deemed to prohibit the defendant from introducing on his behalf evidence
of the basis for his refusal to submit to the taking of a sample of his blood
or breath to determine the alcoholic content of his blood. The court shall
determine the reasonableness of such refusal.
(n) If the court shall find the defendant quilty as charged in the warrant,
the court shall suspend the defendant's license for a period of ninety-days
for a first offense and for six months for a second or subsequent offense
or refusal within one year of the first or other such refusals: the time
shall be computed as follows:
The Date of the first offense and the date of the second or subsequent offense.
(o) The court shall forward the defendant's license to the Commissioner
of the Division of Motor Vehicles of Virginia as in other cases of similar
nature for suspension of license unless, however, the defendant shall appeal
his conviction in which case the court shall return the license to the
defendant upon his appeal being perfected.
(p) The procedure for appeal and trial shall be the same as provided by
law for misdemeanors.
(q) No person arrested for a violation of section 6~77 shall be required
to execute the favor of any person or corporation a waiver or release of
liability in connection with the withdrawal of blood and as a condition
precedent to the withdrawal of blood as provided for herein.
(r) ~he court or the jury trying the case shall determine the innocence
or the guilt of the defendant from all the evidence concerning his condition
at the time of thea lleged offense.
(r-l) Chemical analysis of a person's breath, to be considered valid
under the provisions of this section, shall be performed by an individual
possessing a valid license to conduct such tests, with a type of equipment
and in accordance with the methods approved by the State Health Commissioner.
Such breath-testing equipment shall be tested for its accuracy by the State
Health Commissioner's office at least once every six months.
The State Health Commissioner is directed to establish a training
program for all individuals who ware to administer the breath tests, of at
least forty hours of instruction in the operation of the breath test equipment
and the administration of such tests. Upon the successful completion of the
training program the Commissioner may issue a license to the individual operator
indicating that he has completed the course and is authorized to conduct a
breath test analysis.
Any individual conducting a breath test under the provisions of this
section and as authorized by the State Health Commissioner shall issue a
certificate which will indicate that the test was conducted in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications, the equipment on which the breath
test was conducted has been tested within the past six months, the name of
the adcused, the date, the time the sample was taken from the accused, the
alcoholic content of the sample, and by whom the sample was examined. The
certificate, as provided for in this section, when duly attested by the authorized
individual conducting the breath test, shall be admissible in any court in any
criminal proceeding as evidence of the alcoholic content of the blood of the
accused. In no case may the officer making the arrest, or anyone with him
at the time of the arrest, or anyone participating in the arest of the accused,
make the breath test or analyze the results thereof.
(s) The steps herein set forth relating to the taking, handling, identifi-
cation and disposition of blood or breath samples are procedural in nature
and not substantive. Substantial compliance therewith shall be deemed to
be sufficient. Failure to comply with any one or more of such steps or
portions thereof or a variance in the results of the two blood tests shall
not of itself be grounds for finding the defendant!~not guilty, but shall go
to the weight of the evidence and shall be considered as set forth above with
all the evidence in the case~ provided, that the defendant shall have the
right to introduce evidence on his own behalf to show noncompliance with the
aforesaid procedure or any part thereof, and that as a result his rights
were prejudiced.
This ordinance is passed on an~nergency basis to be effective January 1, 1973.
