(C) Any peace officer who has been duly authorized to make arrests for violations of traffic laws of this state or of ordinances of the municipality may require any person under 21 years of age to submit to a chemical test or tests of his or her blood or breath for the purpose of determining the concentration of alcohol in the blood or breath, when the officer has probable cause to believe that the person was driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle in the municipality in violation of this section.

(E) Upon the conviction of any person for the violation of this section, there shall be assessed as part of the court costs the fee charged by any physician or any agency administering tests pursuant to a permit issued in accordance with Neb.
