(b) When a person is required to submit to an examination pursuant to subsection (a)(1), the fee for such examination shall be in the amount provided by K.S.A. 8-240, and amendments thereto. When a person is required to submit to an examination pursuant to subsection (a)(2), the fee for such examination shall be $25. In addition, any person required to submit to an examination pursuant to subsection (a)(2) as the result of a test failure, a conviction for a violation of K.S.A. 8-1567, and amendments thereto, or a violation of a city ordinance or county resolution prohibiting the acts prohibited by K.S.A. 8-1567, and amendments thereto, shall be required, at the time of examination, to pay a reinstatement fee of $200 after the first occurrence, $400 after the second occurrence, $600 after the third occurrence and $800 after the fourth or subsequent occurrence; and as a result of a test refusal, shall be required, at the time of examination, to pay a reinstatement fee of $600 after the first occurrence, $900 after the second occurrence, $1,200 after the third occurrence and $1,500 after the fourth or subsequent occurrence.
(1) All examination fees collected pursuant to this section shall be remitted to the state treasurer, in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto, who shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit 80% to the state highway fund and 20% shall be disposed of as provided in K.S.A. 8-267, and amendments thereto.

The reexamination requirement in subsection (a)(2) shall not require reexamination and payment of reinstatement fees until the end of the licensee's ignition interlock restriction period.
