I refused chemical breath test. I have me convicted of impaired and paid court cost but not sure about the driving responsibility fee. I know for impaired, I have to pay $1000 for 2 years. Is there any fee for chemical test refusal?

I do not know of any fee; however for an impaired (not an OWI) the Treasury fee is $500 for two years. Within 2 weeks of refusing, you could have asked for a hearing with Secretary of State to fight the refusal. If not, you can hire an attorney and go to your county's Circuit Court to ask for a restricted driver's license during the one year suspension time from refusing the pbt.

If it is your first offense, your license will be suspended for a year for refusing the chemical breath test. Also, six points will be added to your driving record which will supersede the points for your impaired driving conviction.
