§11289. Certification by record custodian

1.  Certificate admissible.  Notwithstanding any other law or rule of evidence, a certificate by the custodian of the records of the bureau, when signed and sworn to by that custodian, or the custodian's designee, is admissible in a judicial or administrative proceeding as prima facie evidence of any fact stated in the certificate or in any documents attached to the certificate.  

[PL 2015, c. 280, §19 (NEW).]

2.  Qualified witness.  With 10 days' written notice to the prosecution, the defendant may request that a qualified witness testify to the matters of which the certificate under subsection 1 constitutes prima facie evidence. The notice must specify those matters concerning which the defendant requests testimony. The certificate is not prima facie evidence in those matters.  

[PL 2015, c. 280, §19 (NEW).]
