HB 1561 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to off highway recreational vehicle registrations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fish and Game and Resources and Economic Development Departments state this bill, as amended by the Senate (Amendment #2010-1211s), will have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state restricted revenues in FY 2011 and each fiscal year thereafter. There is no fiscal impact on state, county and local expenditures or county and local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Fish and Game Department states this bill provides that registrations for off highway recreational vehicles (OHRVs) may be issued for a 14-month period to include the months of May and June, for a prorated fee. The Department is unable to determine whether state restricted revenue will increase or decrease as a result of this bill. In the past if an OHRV was purchased in May or June, state revenue would increase if the owner bought a full year registration that would expire in two months at June 30, or there would be no state revenue impact if the OHRV was unregistered vehicle until July 1.
The Resources and Economic Development Department also states the fiscal impact on state restricted revenues is unknown.
