admissible in evidence and has the effect set forth in

(b)  If there was in the person's blood at the time of
testing 0.05 0.04 0.05 percent or less by weight of alcohol, as

blood more than 0.05 0.04 0.05 percent but less than [0.08] 0.07

evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
