Authority: IC 4-31-3-9

Affected: IC 4-31-8-4

Sec. 2.

A permit holder shall provide an alcohol breath testing device that is approved by the commission and operated by a person certified to use such a device. All drivers, judges, starters, the paddock judge, horse identifier, photo finish technician, test barn veterinarian, racing veterinarian, outriders, and drivers of starting gates shall submit to a breath test prior to the beginning of their duties at each program in which they participate. Any licensee on the track surface during training hours or any licensee scheduled to drive in a qualifying race is subject to testing at the discretion of the judges. In addition, the racing secretary, the judges, the commission director of security, or the track chief of security may order a licensee to submit to a breath test at any time there is reason to believe the licensee may have consumed sufficient alcohol to cause the licensee to fail a breath test. A positive test result as defined by section 1(b) of this rule shall be prima facie evidence that there has been a violation of of [sic] section 1 of this rule. In the event of such positive test, it is presumed that:

(1) the breath sample tested is taken from the person and its integrity has been preserved;
(2) all accompanying procedures of collection and analysis of this sample are correct and accurate; and
(3) the report issued by the commission pertains to the sample taken from the person in question correctly reflects the condition of the person at the time of the sample was given.

With respect to the presumptions set forth in this section, the burden is on the person against whom the test is offered to prove otherwise at any hearing in regard to the matter which is conducted by the stewards or by the commission.
