by any person while operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated or

persons blood, breath, saliva or urine is admissible in evidence.
Such evidence shall be construed as follows:
1. If there was five-hundredths of one percent (.05%) or less by weight

not intoxicated at the time the specimen was obtained.
2. If there was in excess of five-hundredths of one percent (.05%) but
less than eight-hundredths of one percent (.08%) by weight of alcohol
in his blood, the fact shall not give rise to any presumption that
the person was or was not intoxicated but the fact may be considered
with other competent evidence in determining whether the person was
intoxicated.

of alcohol in the persons blood, this shall be prima facie evidence

was operating while in an intoxicated condition or, if under twenty-one
(21), was operating such vehicle with a blood alcohol content of two-hundredths
of one percent (.02%) or more by weight of alcohol, and that, on his
request, refused to submit to the test.
