ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety and Department of Conservation assume this proposal would not have fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials with the Department of Natural Resources did not respond to a request for information, however, their agency had no fiscal impact for a similar proposal from this session.
Officials with the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the change in the definition of gross vehicle weight rating could change the requirements for a commercial driver's license. Special restrictions that the DOR currently issues to operators of commercial motor vehicles with a manufacturer's rating under 26,001 would no longer be required to obtain a commercial driver license if the registered weight exceeds 26,001 pounds. This could decrease the number of commercial drivers license issued annually. Oversight assumes that this decrease would be an annual loss.
DOR further assumes there could be cost for overtime hours to program the existing system and incorporate the new requirements. There could also be cost to test the system once the changes are made to the program. DOR states that these testing protocols are a necessary part of changing the system.
ASSUMPTION (continued)
FY 04 Income loss and cost
Fewer commercial license issued $2,120
Programming (100 overtime hours) $2,500
Testing (480 overtime hours) $9,600
Total $14,220
FY 05 Income loss
Fewer commercial license issued $2,120
FY 06 Income loss
Fewer commercial license issued $2,120
This proposal could decrease state revenue by reducing the amount collected for commercial driver licenses.
