3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, in addition to the fees required pursuant to the provisions of subsections 1 and 2, if a laboratory applies for certification for an analyte in more than two of the approved methods of testing for that analyte, the laboratory must submit a fee of $280 for each additional approved method of testing.

4. For the annual period of certification beginning on August 1, 2029, and for each annual period of certification thereafter, the Director of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources shall increase each fee set forth in this section by an amount that is equal to 3 percent of the fee for the immediately preceding annual period of certification. The Director may, during any individual annual period of certification, suspend an increase in a fee specified in this subsection.

5. The Director of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources shall post on the Internet website of the Division the fees required pursuant to this section that are applicable for each annual certification period.

6. If a laboratory applies for certification for additional analytes after the laboratory has been issued a certification for an annual period of certification, the fee for certification for each additional category of analyte is the fee provided for that category of analyte pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2. The fee must be prorated pursuant to subsection 7 if the provisions of that subsection otherwise apply. If the Division conducts an evaluation for certification at the laboratory, the laboratory must pay, at the rate provided for state officers and employees generally, the actual travel and per diem expenses of the Division. If the laboratory is located outside of this State, the laboratory must pay the actual travel and per diem expenses of the employee of the Division who conducts the evaluation.

7. The fees are effective for 12 months beginning on August 1 of each year. If an application for certification to test for an analyte is submitted during that period, the fees for that certification must be prorated using the following formula:

Fee X.083 X the number of months remaining in the annual period of certification.

For the purpose of prorating fees, an application for certification to test for an analyte shall be deemed to have been submitted at the beginning of a month regardless of the date of the application. The prorated fee must be rounded to the next highest dollar. The fee provided pursuant to the provisions of subsection 1 must not be prorated.

8. The fee for certification to test for a specific analyte must be paid before a certificate for that analyte may be issued.

9. Any fee paid pursuant to the provisions of this section is nonrefundable.
