HB 1591-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT requiring the state to list and itemize all fees on vehicle registration forms.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety states this bill will increase state highway expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2010 and each fiscal year thereafter. There is no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures or state, county and local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Safety states this bill requires the Division of Motor Vehicles to list and itemize all fees on vehicle registration forms. The Department states that the increase in state highway expenditures to achieve this is indeterminable, however, there are some costs that can be estimated. The estimated computer programming costs related to the form changes would be approximately $52,500 (300 hours @ $175 per hour). The Department further states that while the actual quantity of current forms what will need to be discarded is unknown, assuming a three month supply at the time of the change, the Department estimates the cost will be $7,600.
The New Hampshire Municipal Association states there will be no fiscal impact on municipalities.
