Section 20:04:27:15 - Chemist's test to constitute prima facie evidence

Reports of an analysis of urine samples by a chemist or chemical laboratory selected by the commission constitute prima facie evidence of the presence or absence of the substances listed in § 20:04:27:13 or the presence of any other substance not authorized by § 20:04:27:13. In determining compliance with subdivision 20:04:27:14(3) for any horse using an authorized substance, the commission may rely upon an opinion by the chemist or a chemical laboratory selected by it concerning the time of the last administration of an authorized substance to that horse. The opinion shall be based upon an analysis of the level of the authorized substance or its metabolites in urine samples from that horse. This chemist's report shall create a rebuttable presumption of the time of the last administration of any authorized substance to that horse or the presence of any unauthorized substance.
