The Mayor's Court shall not order an offender under this section to pay the cost of the tests performed on a substance if the results of the test do not indicate that the substance tested contained any controlled substance.
(b) The Mayor's Court shall hold a hearing to determine the amount of costs to be imposed under this section. The Mayor's court may hold the hearing as part of the sentencing hearing for the offender.
