The cabinet shall set fees by administrative regulation, pursuant to KRS
Chapter 13A, for the following applications that shall not exceed:
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this subsection, forty dollars ($40)
for each application for a commercial driver's license. The fee shall be
based on the class, type of license, endorsement, restriction, or tests to
be taken;

instruction permit;
(c) Fifteen dollars ($15) for each application for a change or addition in class
or type of license, endorsement, or restriction;

duplicate applied for within the time period for which the original license

applied for within the time period for which the original license was issued.
The fees required for a duplicate shall be in addition to fees charged
under subsection (2)(c) of this section;
(e) Thirty-five dollars ($35) for each application for renewal of a commercial
driver's license;
(f) Sixty dollars ($60) for each application for a transfer of a commercial
driver's license; and
(g) Twenty dollars ($20) for each application for an initial and renewal
commercial driver's license with an "S" endorsement.
All fees remitted to the clerk shall be nonrefundable regardless of whether the
applicant completes the requirements for a commercial driver's license or is
tested.
All fees collected for the issuance of a commercial driver's license or a
commercial driver's instruction permit shall be deposited into trust and agency
accounts to be used exclusively for the administration and implementation of
this chapter, except as prescribed in subsection (5) of this section. The
accounts shall not lapse but shall be continuing from year to year.
All fees collected pursuant to this section, shall be allocated between the
Transportation Cabinet and Department of Kentucky State Police, except a fifty
cent ($0.50) issuance fee shall be allocated during the first two (2) years
following the effective date of January 1, 1991, to the Administrative Office of
(6)
the Courts in a trust and agency account for the use of the circuit clerks and
thereafter allocated to the general fund from issuance of a commercial driver's
license permit. A three dollar ($3) issuance fee shall be allocated during the
first two (2) years following the effective date of January 1, 1991, to the
Administrative Office of the Courts in a trust and agency account for the use of
the circuit clerks and thereafter allocated to the general fund from issuance of a
commercial driver's license.
Any applicant who seeks reinstatement of his or her commercial driving
privilege after a suspension, withdrawal, revocation, or disqualification shall pay
a reinstatement fee of fifty dollars ($50) in addition to those fees required by
subsection (2) of this section and shall satisfy the requirements of KRS
281A.160. This fee shall not be required if his or her commercial driving
privilege was withdrawn only as a result of the withdrawal of his or her privilege
to drive a noncommercial motor vehicle.
