(A) The following apply with respect to a chemical test and analysis of a person’s blood, urine or breath, other than a preliminary chemical breath analysis:
(1) The amount of alcohol or presence of a controlled substance, or both, in an operator’s blood at the time alleged as shown by chemical analysis of the person’s blood, urine, or breath is admissible into evidence in any civil or criminal proceeding; and
(2) A person arrested for a crime described in §§ 95.210(A) and (C) and 95.214(E)(1) of this chapter shall be advised of all of the following:
(a) If the person takes a chemical test of his or her blood, urine or breath administered at the request of a peace officer, the person has the right to demand that someone of the person’s own choosing administer one of the chemical tests; that the results of the test are admissible in a judicial proceeding as provided under this subchapter and shall be considered with other competent evidence in determining the innocence or guilt of the defendant; and that the person is responsible for obtaining a chemical analysis of a test sample obtained pursuant to the person’s own request;
(b) If the person refuses the request of a peace officer to take the test described in division (A)(2)(a) above, the test shall not be given without a court order, but the peace officer may seek to obtain such a court order; and
(c) The person’s refusal of the request of a peace officer to take the test described in division (A)(2)(a) above will result in issuance of an order that the person not operate a vessel on the waters of the state or city for at least six months.

A qualified person who withdraws or analyzes blood, or assists in the withdrawal or analysis, in accordance with this subchapter is not liable for a crime or civil damages predicated on the act of withdrawing or analyzing blood and related procedures unless the withdrawal or analysis is performed in a negligent manner.
