3-31 or who is visibly in an intoxicated condition as defined in Section 577.001, RSMo. or has a detectable blood alcohol content of more than 0.02 of 1% or more by weight of alcohol in such person's blood is guilty of an offense. For purposes of prosecution under this section or any other provision of this chapter involving an alleged illegal sale or transfer of intoxicating liquor to a person under 21 years of age, a manufacturer-sealed container describing that there is intoxicating liquor therein need not be opened or the contents therein tested to verify that there is intoxicating liquor in such container. The alleged violator may allege that there was not intoxicating liquor in such container, but the burden of proof of such allegation is on such person, as it shall be presumed that such a sealed container describing that there is intoxicating liquor therein contains intoxicating liquor.
(b) For purposes
of determining violations of any provision of this chapter, or of
any rule or regulation of the Supervisor of Alcohol and Tobacco Control,
a manufacturer-sealed container describing that there is intoxicating
liquor therein need not be opened or the contents therein tested to
verify that there is intoxicating liquor in such container. The alleged
violator may allege that there was not intoxicating liquor in such
container, but the burden of proof of such allegation is on such person,
as it shall be presumed that such a sealed container describing that
there is intoxicating liquor therein contains intoxicating liquor.
(c) Any person
under the age of 21 years who purchases or attempts to purchase, or

be deemed to have given consent to 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. The implied consent
to submit to the chemical tests listed in this subsection shall be
limited to not more than two such tests arising from the same arrest,
incident, or charge. Chemical analysis of the person's breath, blood,
saliva, or urine shall be performed according to methods approved
by the State Department of Health and Senior Services by licensed
medical personnel or by a person possessing a valid permit issued
by the State Department of Health and Senior Services for this purpose.
The State Department of Health and Senior Services shall approve satisfactory
techniques, devices, equipment, or methods to be considered valid
and shall establish standards to ascertain the qualifications and
competence of individuals to conduct analyses and to issue permits
which shall be subject to termination or revocation by the State Department
of Health and Senior Services. 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. Upon
the request of the person who is tested, full information concerning
the test shall be made available to such person. Full information
is limited to the following:
(1) The

numerical results of the test indicating the alcohol content of the
blood and breath and urine;

material that is not in the actual possession of the state. Additionally,
full information does not include information in the possession of
the manufacturer of the test instrument.

a beverage under Subsection (d)(3) of this subsection only for instructional
purposes during classes that are part of the curriculum of the accredited
college or university. The beverage must at all times remain in the
possession and control of an authorized instructor of the college
or university, who must be 21 years of age or older. Nothing in this
subsection may be construed to allow a student under the age of 21
to receive any beer, ale, porter, wine, or other similar malt or fermented
beverage unless the beverage is delivered as part of the student's
required curriculum and the beverage is used only for instructional
purposes during classes conducted as part of the curriculum.
