METHODOLOGY:
This bill would establish a Rotary International special number plate under RSA 261 with an issue and renewal fee of $30 per year, which would be in addition to regular registration fees and any other number plate fees required. The plates may be used on motor vehicles and recreational vehicles.
The Department of Safety states there would be an increase in cost of collection and administration expenditures of $293,350 in FY 2018 for administrative costs and one-time system programming changes. Administrative costs would likely be $7,500 in each of the following fiscal years. Revenue from the $30 plate fee is indeterminable; however, the Department assumes any net revenue collected would be deposited into the general fund. The Department estimates expenditures as presented in the following table:
The Department states this bill may result in an indeterminable increase to local governments in FY 2018, with no fiscal impact the following years, as municipalities may be required to make vendor software changes to implement this bill.
