Distribution of Fees

PURPOSE: This rule establishes procedures for distribution of fees deposited with the Drivers License Bureau in compliance with Chapters 302 and 303, RSMo. (1) When an individual has more than one (1) action of suspension or revocation requiring the payment of various fees and the payee does not specify to which action the payment(s) should be applied, the monies shall be applied first to any security compliance deposit required for a motor vehicle accident. If the payment received is not sufficient to apply in total to the security compliance deposit required, payments shall be applied in suspension/revocation effective date order. (2) Monies shall be deposited in state accounts according to the priority in which they are accepted. (3) The suspended driver or owner, or both, shall be notified, in writing, of how the monies were distributed and of any balance due to the Drivers License Bureau. If the individual advises that s/he did not intend for monies to be distributed in the priority accounts established, the file shall be evaluated to determine reassessment of money distribution. (4) Any excess of fees paid shall be distributed in the following manner: (A) If seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) or less, the monies shall be deposited into appropriate accounts. If the individual requests refund of overpayment, a refund of seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) or less shall be given; and (B) If monies are in excess of seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50), a refund of overpayment shall be given to the individual automatically.
