Daniel v. Dennis, Appellant, v. State of Alaska, Department of Administration, Division of Motor Vehicles, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s decision upholding the Division of Motor Vehicles’ revocation of the driver’s license. The Court held that the verification of the breath‑test instrument’s calibration performed by the scientific director, via the instrument’s software, satisfies the requirements of 13 AAC 63.100(c). The Court distinguished Keel, concluding the regulation did not require an “instructor” and therefore the verification was proper.
