AB444-ASA1,17,9 4. `Inability to obtain chemical test.' The failure or inability of a person to obtain a chemical test at his or her own expense does not preclude the admission of evidence of the results of a chemical test required and administered under pars. (a) and (b).

AB444-ASA1,17,17 (d) Admissibility; effect of test results; other evidence. The results of a chemical test required or administered under par.

(16) (cm) 1. on the issue of whether the person had alcohol concentrations at or above specified levels or was under the influence of an intoxicant. Results of these chemical tests shall be given the effect required under s. 885.235. This subsection does not limit the right of a law enforcement officer to obtain evidence by any other lawful means.

AB444-ASA1,17,24 (e) Refusal. No person may refuse a lawful request to provide one or more samples of his or her breath, blood, or urine or to submit to one or more chemical tests under par. (a). A person shall not be deemed to refuse to provide a sample or to submit to a chemical test if it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the refusal was due to a physical inability to provide the sample or to submit to the test due to a physical disability or disease unrelated to the use of an intoxicant. Issues in any action concerning a violation of par. (a) or this paragraph are limited to:

AB444-ASA1,18,2 1. Whether the law enforcement officer had probable cause to believe the person was violating or had violated sub. (16) (cm) 1.
