PLEICONES, Justice,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. I agree with the majority that the original version of Act 434 is applicable to Huntley’s case. Unlike the majority, however, I believe that the failure to comply with the clear and unambiguous statutory language mandating a simulator test be run using “an eight one-hundredths of one percent” alcohol solution bars the use of the breath test results at trial. State v. Breech, 308 S.C. 356, 417 S.E.2d 873 (1992)(DUI statute strictly construed in favor of defendant).
