§ 74.073 CHEMICAL TEST FOR ALCOHOL CONTENT; CONSENT IMPLIED; ADMINISTERED, WHEN, HOW.
   (A)   Any person who operates a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this city shall be deemed to have given consent to, subject to the provisions of RSMo. §§ 577.020 to 577.041, a chemical test or tests of the person’s breath, blood, saliva, or urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol or drug content of the person’s blood if arrested for any offense arising out of acts which the arresting officer had reasonable grounds to believe were committed while the person was driving a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated or drugged condition. The test shall be administered at the direction of the arresting law enforcement officer whenever the person has been arrested for the offense.
   (B)   The implied consent to submit to the chemical tests listed in division (A) above shall be limited to not more than two such tests arising from the same arrest, incident, or charge.
   (C)   Chemical analysis of the person’s breath, blood, saliva, or urine to be considered valid pursuant to the provisions of RSMo. §§ 577.020 to 577.041, shall be performed according to methods approved by the state’s Department of Health by licensed medical personnel or by a person possessing a valid permit issued by the state’s Department of Health for this purpose.
   (D)   The person tested may have a physician, or a qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified person at the choosing and expense of the person to be tested, administer a test 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 shall not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
   (E)   Upon the request of the person who is tested, full information concerning the test shall be made available to him or her.
