1. “Section 39-20-03.1(3) requires the officer to forward the test records for “all tests” conducted at the officer’s direction, regardless of whether the officer judges the results to be invalid. We have said that an administrative agency must follow the basic mandatory provisions of the statute. The statute’s command that all tests be forwarded to DOT is basic and mandatory. It precludes the officer’s exercise of choice and requires the transmittal of “all tests.” The legislature has made it the hearing officer’s domain, not the officer’s, to judge the foundational facts for the admissibility of test results and the weight to be given. to each of those results. Therefore, we conclude that the officer’s failure to submit the Intoxilyzer test records deprived DOT of authority to suspend Bosch’s driving privileges.”
