    Subdivision 1. Examination required. No person whose driver's license has been revoked
by reason of conviction, plea of guilty, or forfeiture of bail not vacated, under section 169.791,
169.797, or 171.17, or revoked under section 169.792 or 169A.52 shall be issued another
license unless and until that person shall have successfully passed an examination as required
by the commissioner of public safety. This subdivision does not apply to an applicant for early
reinstatement under section 169.792, subdivision 7a.
    Subd. 2. Reinstatement fees and surcharges allocated and appropriated. (a) An
individual whose driver's license has been revoked as provided in subdivision 1, except under
section 169A.52, 169A.54, or 609.21, must pay a $30 fee before the driver's license is reinstated.
(b) A person whose driver's license has been revoked as provided in subdivision 1 under
section 169A.52, 169A.54, or 609.21, must pay a $250 fee plus a $40 surcharge before the driver's
license is reinstated. Beginning July 1, 2002, the surcharge is $145. Beginning July 1, 2003, the
surcharge is $430. The $250 fee is to be credited as follows:
(1) Twenty percent must be credited to the driver services operating account in the special
revenue fund as specified in section 299A.705.
(2) Sixty-seven percent must be credited to the general fund.
(3) Eight percent must be credited to a separate account to be known as the Bureau of
Criminal Apprehension account. Money in this account may be appropriated to the commissioner
of public safety and the appropriated amount must be apportioned 80 percent for laboratory costs
and 20 percent for carrying out the provisions of section 299C.065.
(4) Five percent must be credited to a separate account to be known as the vehicle forfeiture
account, which is created in the special revenue fund. The money in the account is annually
appropriated to the commissioner for costs of handling vehicle forfeitures.
(c) The revenue from $50 of each surcharge must be credited to a separate account to be
known as the traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury account. The money in the account
is annually appropriated to the commissioner of health to be used as follows: 83 percent for
contracts with a qualified community-based organization to provide information, resources, and
support to assist persons with traumatic brain injury and their families to access services, and 17
percent to maintain the traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury registry created in section
144.662. For the purposes of this paragraph, a "qualified community-based organization" is a
private, not-for-profit organization of consumers of traumatic brain injury services and their
family members. The organization must be registered with the United States Internal Revenue
Service under section 501(c)(3) as a tax-exempt organization and must have as its purposes:
(1) the promotion of public, family, survivor, and professional awareness of the incidence
and consequences of traumatic brain injury;
(2) the provision of a network of support for persons with traumatic brain injury, their
families, and friends;
(3) the development and support of programs and services to prevent traumatic brain injury;
(4) the establishment of education programs for persons with traumatic brain injury; and
(5) the empowerment of persons with traumatic brain injury through participation in its
governance.
A patient's name, identifying information, or identifiable medical data must not be disclosed to the
organization without the informed voluntary written consent of the patient or patient's guardian
or, if the patient is a minor, of the parent or guardian of the patient.
(d) The remainder of the surcharge must be credited to a separate account to be known as
the remote electronic alcohol-monitoring program account. The commissioner shall transfer
the balance of this account to the commissioner of finance on a monthly basis for deposit in
the general fund.
(e) When these fees are collected by a licensing agent, appointed under section 171.061,
a handling charge is imposed in the amount specified under section 171.061, subdivision 4.
The reinstatement fees and surcharge must be deposited in an approved depository as directed
under section 171.061, subdivision 4.
    Subd. 3. Compliance with impoundment laws. A person whose license has been revoked
under section 169A.52 or 169A.54 may not be issued another license at the end of the revocation
period unless the person has complied with all applicable registration plate impoundment
provisions of sections 168.041 and 169A.60.
