HB 112-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to registration permit fees for special use vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety and the New Hampshire Municipal Association state this bill, as introduced, will increase state expenditures in FY 2014, and will have an indeterminable impact on local revenue in FY 2014 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state and county revenues, or local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
This bill lowers from $2 to $1 the optional registration fee municipalities may charge for historic vehicles and two-wheeled vehicles including mopeds, motorcycles, and non-motorized car and boat trailers. Under existing statute, and unchanged by this bill, revenues from the fee are deposited into town reclamation trust funds and are used to pay for the collection and disposal of towns’ motor vehicle waste. The state does not collect any revenue from the fee. The Department of Safety states the bill will result in increased state expenditures of $22,500 in FY 2014. The increased expenditures are attributable to programming changes and testing to both vendor software and the Municipal Agent Automation Project, a vehicle registration and title computer program connecting the Department of Motor Vehicles to towns and cities throughout the state.
Both the Department of Safety and the New Hampshire Municipal Association state the impact on municipal revenue is indeterminable. Collection of the fee is optional, and the Municipal Association states it does not have data on the number of municipalities that have enacted the fee or on the amount collected annually from the fee. Any municipalities that do collect the fee will see a 50 percent reduction in that revenue source.
