SB 78-FN-A-LOCAL - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to motor vehicle registration fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety states this bill will decrease state highway fund revenue by $6,595,926 in FY 2011, and decrease state highway fund expenditures and local revenue by $791,511 in FY 2012. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures or county revenues.
METHODOLOGY:
This bill eliminates the motor vehicle registration fee increases enacted in 2009, effective upon passage of the bill. The Department of Safety notes the fee increases enacted in 2009 are currently set to expire on June 30, 2011 and states the proposed legislation will reduce FY 2011 state highway fund revenue by the amounts associated with the fee increases from the date of passage through June 30, 2011. For the purposes of estimating the fiscal impact of the proposed legislation, the Department assumes the proposed legislation would be passed on May 1, 2011. Based on a FY 2010 monthly revenue average of $3,297,963 attributable to the motor vehicle registration fee, the Department estimates state highway fund revenue would decrease by $6,595,926 ($3,297,963 x 2) in FY 2011. In accordance with RSA 235:23, this would result in a subsequent reduction in state highway fund expenditures and local revenue of $791,511 (12% of $6,595,926) in FY 2012.
