States, including the District of Columbia in accordance with the law of that
jurisdiction, but that would be in violation of this subtitle if the interception was
made in this State, or evidence derived from the communication, may disclose the
contents of that communication or the derivative evidence while giving testimony
under oath or affirmation in any proceeding held under the authority of this State if:
(iii) All parties to the communication were co-conspirators in a

(a) A laboratory test, performed by a laboratory certified by the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene and approved by the Division of Parole and Probation of
the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, indicating that the
defendant has used a controlled dangerous substance as defined in [Article 27 of the
Code] § 5-101 OF THE CRIMINAL LAW ARTICLE or alcohol in violation of a condition of

analyst personally appearing in court, provided the report identifies the chemist or
analyst as an individual certified by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene,
the Department of State Police, the Baltimore City Police Department, or any county
police department employing analysts of controlled dangerous substances, as
qualified under standards approved by the Department of Health and Mental

evidence contained in or the presumptions raised by the report.
