HB 1131-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to license revocations and suspensions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety stated this bill will have an indeterminable impact on state highway fund revenues in FY 2001 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or state, county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department indicates this bill delays reinstatement fees for persons under 21 who are convicted of alcohol or drug related driving offenses until they are at least 21. This would cause revenue from the payment of reinstatement fees to be delayed. The amount of delayed revenue cannot be determined.
