HB 419-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to operating restrictions on youth operators.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety states this bill may increase state and local revenues and state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2010 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county revenues or county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Safety states this bill will modify the hours during which a youth operator may not operate a motor vehicle and would limit the restriction to operators under 18 years of age. The Department states to the extent the bill increases the number of violations, fines generated through the courts will increase state general fund unrestricted revenues, while fines sent to the Department will increase highway fund revenues. To the extent the violations lead to license suspensions, revenue from license restorations would increase revenues to the highway fund and the administrative license suspension fund. Any increase in highway fund revenues will result in a 12% increase in local revenues and highway fund expenditures.
