  7.33  to permit the test was based upon reasonable grounds. 
  7.34     (d) Certified or otherwise authenticated copies of

  9.27  must pay a fee of $20 $22.50.  When fees are collected by a 
  9.28  licensing agent appointed under section 171.061, a handling 
  9.29  charge is imposed in the amount specified under section 171.061, 
  9.30  subdivision 4.  The reinstatement fee and surcharge must be 
  9.31  deposited in an approved state depository as directed under
