HB 35 - This act requires admission of relevant chemical analysis of a person's breath in proceedings for any criminal offense, violations of county or municipal ordinances, or license suspension or revocation proceedings arising out of acts occurring between December 30, 2012 and April 4, 2014, relating to the operation of a vehicle, vessel, or aircraft while in an intoxicated condition so long as the evidence meets certain specified conditions. These provisions are a procedural rule and applicable to all proceedings in progress whether commenced before or after the enactment of the section. This act abrogates the holdings of Stiers v. Dir. of Revenue, 477 S.W.3d 611, (Mo. 2016) and Stiers v. Dir. of Revenue, ED 101407, 2015 WL 343310 (Mo.App. E.D. Jan. 27, 2015). This act contains an emergency clause. This act is identical to provisions of SCS/HCB 1 (2017), identical to provisions of CCS/SCS#2/SB 128 (2017), substantially similar to SB 158 (2017), and similar to HB 2627 (2016). JOHN GRANA
