HB 505-FN - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT establishing a special license plate for veterans.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Department of Safety indicates this bill will increase state restricted revenue and expenditures by an equal but indeterminable amount in FY 2000 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or expenditures.

METHODOLOGY:

The Department is unable to estimate the cost of design, manufacture and distribution of the new veterans plates, however, this bill requires that these costs be offset by revenue neutral fees.
