HB 515-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to combat veteran stickers on number plates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety has determined this bill will increase state highway fund revenue and expenditures and local revenue by an indeterminable amount in FY 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures or county revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states this bill requires the Director of Motor Vehicles to issue a sticker for a one-time $2 fee for placement on the special number plates for veterans indicating that the veteran is a combat veteran. The Department cannot estimate how much state revenue and expenditures might increase because it does not know how many current and future recipients of veterans plates would be qualified as combat veterans, and of that group, how many would choose to purchase the stickers. The Department also states that pursuant to RSA 235:23, any increase in highway fund revenue will increase state expenditures and local revenue by 12% of the revenue increase for local highway aid.
