In a trial, action or proceeding for a violation of this section

the defendant's blood, breath or other bodily substance, it may
be presumed that the defendant was not under the influence of intoxicating

28-1387.
Prior convictions; alcohol or other drug screening, education and
treatment; license suspension; supervised probation; civil liability;
procedures
A.
The court shall allow the allegation of a prior conviction or any
other pending charge of a violation of section 28-1381, 28-1382
or 28-1383 or an act in another jurisdiction that if committed in
this state would be a violation of section 28-1381, 28-1382 or 28-1383
filed twenty or more days before the date the case is actually tried
and may allow the allegation of a prior conviction or any other
pending charge of a violation of section 28-1381, 28-1382 or 28-1383
or an act in another jurisdiction that if committed in this state
would be a violation of section 28-1381, 28-1382 or 28-1383 filed
at any time before the date the case is actually tried if this state
makes available to the defendant when the allegation is filed a
copy of any information obtained concerning the prior conviction
or other pending charge. Any conviction may be used to enhance another
conviction irrespective of the dates on which the offenses occurred
within the sixty month provision. For the purposes of this article,
an order of a juvenile court adjudicating a person delinquent is
equivalent to a conviction.
B.
In addition to any other penalties prescribed by law, the judge
shall order a person who is convicted of a violation of section
28-1381 or 28-1382 to complete alcohol or other drug screening that
is provided by a facility approved by the department of health services
or a probation department. If a judge determines that the person
requires further alcohol or other drug education or treatment, the
person may be required pursuant to court order to obtain alcohol
or other drug education or treatment under the court's supervision
from an approved facility. The judge may review an education or
treatment determination at the request of the state or the defendant
or on the judge's initiative. The person shall pay the costs of
the screening, education or treatment unless the court waives part
or all of the costs. If a person is referred to a screening, education
or treatment facility, the facility shall report to the court whether
the person has successfully completed the screening, education or
treatment program.
C.
After a person who is sentenced pursuant to section 28-1381, subsection
I has served twenty-four consecutive hours in jail or after a person
who is sentenced pursuant to section 28-1381, subsection K or section
28-1382, subsection D or F has served forty-eight consecutive hours
in jail and after the court receives confirmation that the person
is employed or is a student, the court may provide in the sentence
that the defendant, if the defendant is employed or is a student
and can continue the defendant's employment or studies, may continue
the employment or studies for not more than twelve hours a day nor
more than five days a week. The person shall spend the remaining
day, days or parts of days in jail until the sentence is served
and shall be allowed out of jail only long enough to complete the
actual hours of employment or studies.
D.
Unless the license of a person convicted under section 28-1381 or
28-1382 has been or is suspended pursuant to section 28-1321 or
28-1385, the department on receipt of the abstract of conviction
of a violation of section 28-1381 or 28-1382 shall suspend the license
of the affected person for not less than ninety consecutive days.
E.
When the department receives notification that the person meets
the criteria provided in section 28-1385, subsection F, the department
shall suspend the driving privileges of the person for not less
than thirty consecutive days and shall restrict the driving privileges
of the person for not less than sixty consecutive additional days
to travel between any of the following:
1.
The person's place of employment and residence and during specified
periods of time while at employment.
2.
The person's place of residence and the person's secondary or postsecondary
school, according to the person's employment or educational schedule.
3.
The person's place of residence and a treatment facility for scheduled
appointments.
4.
The person's place of residence and the office of the person's probation
officer for scheduled appointments.
F.
If a person is placed on probation for violating section 28-1381
or 28-1382, the probation shall be supervised unless the court finds
that supervised probation is not necessary or the court does not
have supervisory probation services.
G.
Any political subdivision processing or using the services of a
person ordered to perform community service pursuant to section
28-1381 or 28-1382 does not incur any civil liability to the person
ordered to perform community service as a result of these activities
unless the political subdivision or its agent or employee acts with
gross negligence.
H.
Except for another violation of this article, the state shall not
dismiss a charge of violating any provision of this article unless
there is an insufficient legal or factual basis to pursue that charge.
28-1388.
Blood and breath tests; violation; classification; admissible evidence
A.
If blood is drawn under section 28-1321, only a physician, a registered
nurse or another qualified person may withdraw blood for the purpose
of determining the alcohol concentration or drug content in the
blood. The qualifications of the individual withdrawing the blood
and the method used to withdraw the blood are not foundational prerequisites
for the admissibility of a blood alcohol content determination made
pursuant to this subsection.
B.
If a law enforcement officer administers a duplicate breath test
and the person tested is given a reasonable opportunity to arrange
for an additional test pursuant to subsection C of this section,
a sample of the person's breath does not have to be collected or
preserved.
C.
The person tested shall be given a reasonable opportunity to arrange
for any physician, registered nurse or other qualified person of
the person's own choosing to administer a test or tests in addition
to any administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
The failure or inability to obtain an additional test by a person
does not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test
or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
D.
If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a test or tests under
section 28-1321, whether or not a sample was collected pursuant
to subsection E of this section or a search warrant, evidence of
refusal is admissible in any civil or criminal action or other proceeding.
The issue of refusal is an issue of fact to be determined by the
trier of fact in all cases.
E.
Notwithstanding any other law, if a law enforcement officer has
probable cause to believe that a person has violated section 28-1381
and a sample of blood, urine or other bodily substance is taken
from that person for any reason, a portion of that sample sufficient
for analysis shall be provided to a law enforcement officer if requested
for law enforcement purposes. A person who fails to comply with
this subsection is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.
F.
A person who collects blood, urine or any other bodily substance
under this section or any hospital, laboratory or clinic employing
or using the services of the person does not incur any civil liability
as a result of this activity if requested by a law enforcement officer
to collect blood, urine or other bodily substances unless the person,
while performing the activity, acts with gross negligence.
G.
A statement by the defendant that the defendant was driving a vehicle
that was involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death
of any person is admissible in any criminal proceeding without further
proof of corpus delicti if it is otherwise admissible.
