3.
				The initial or annual renewal fee for certification to analyze any chemical
				analyte is equal to the respective fee set forth in subsection 2, plus the per
				diem allowance and travel expenses provided for state officers and employees
				generally for each person who conducts an inspection that is required for
				certification of the laboratory. 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 inspection.
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 period of
				certification. The Director may, for 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 an application for certification to
				test for an analyte is received during the annual period of certification, the
				fees for that certification must be prorated by using the following formula:
Fee x.083 x the number of months remaining in the annual
				  period of certification.
The month in which the application is submitted must not be
				  counted as a month remaining in the annual period of certification. The
				  prorated fee must be rounded to the next highest dollar. The fee for submitting
				  an application for certification to test for an analyte must not be
				  prorated.
7. A fee for
				certification to analyze a specific analyte must be paid before a certificate
				may be issued.
8. Any fee paid
				pursuant to the provisions of this section is nonrefundable.
