SB 426-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to boat dealers and repairers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety indicates this bill will increase state highway fund revenue by $34,992 in FY 2001 and each year thereafter and will increase state highway fund expenditures by $92,500 in FY 2001. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states there are 243 organizations that are vessel manufacturers, dealers or repairers, and the Department assumes that on average, each would obtain 4 boat trailer registration plates at $36 per plate, resulting in $34,992 in annual revenue.
The Department states it will incur expenditures for the new plates, start up costs of $25,000 and manufacturing costs of $67,500, for a total of $92,500. This amount will allow the Department to produce 10,000 plates and will be the only expense until the supply of plates is exhausted.
