1. (1) A client is required to pay a reasonable fee for an assessment or driver safety plan program to the appropriate agency. A client may be allowed to pay the assessment fee in 1, 2, 3, or 4 equal installments before an assessment is conducted. The fee for driver safety plan programs may be reduced or waived if the person is unable to pay the entire fee, but no fee for assessment, attendance at a traffic safety school or attendance at an alternative education program may be reduced or waived.

2. (2) Each client shall be informed of the fee policies of each assessment facility and each driver safety plan provider. Information provided to the client shall include whether the client is liable for the full cost of the services or whether the client may be eligible for reduced costs according to the client’s ability to pay and the conditions of eligibility for reduced fees.

   Note: Nothing in this chapter prevents an assessment facility from charging reasonable fees to recoup costs.
