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.
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.
