transfer the balance of this account to the commissioner of management and budget on a
monthly basis for deposit in the general fund.

171.061, a filing fee is imposed in the amount specified under section 171.061, subdivision

of the total amount of the surcharge and 50 percent of the fee required under paragraph (b)

the driver's license must expire after two years. The person must pay an additional 50 percent
less $25 of the total to extend the license for an additional two years, provided the person
is otherwise still eligible for the license. After this final payment of the surcharge and fee,

before the driver's license is subsequently reinstated. Upon payment of the outstanding
balance due for the initial reinstatement, the person may pay any new surcharge and fee
imposed under paragraph (b) in installment payments as provided under paragraph (f).
