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.
