Any such use or any failure or refusal to submit to a test is a violation for which a graduated sanction may be imposed in accordance with the system adopted by the Division pursuant to NRS 176A.510.

2. Any expense incurred as a result of a test must be paid from appropriations to the Division on claims as other claims against the State are paid.
