ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the provisions of this proposal create four new special license plate types to be known as Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis Zoo, Kansas City Zoo and Springfield Zoo.
DOR COST
DOR assumes it will require the services of one (1) Clerk Typist II for 354 hours of overtime to process additional plate applications. The Clerk Typist II's responsibilities will include editing, correspondence, validation, key entry, telephone, and customer walk-in assistance. DOR also assumes it will incur expenses in the amount of $14,373 for policy and procedure changes, forms and postage, and $21,093 for plates and tabs for FY02.
REVENUE INCREASE
DOR contacted the organizations to be benefitted by the proceeds of sales of the proposed special license plates and found the following:
MO. BOTANICAL GARDEN
According to the Missouri Botanical Gardens Development Office, they have approximately 33,000 members. DOR assumes 5% of these members will make the $35 contribution and apply for a Botanical Garden Plate.
33,000 x 5% = 1,650 additional license plates
ST. LOUIS ZOO
According to the St. Louis Zoo they have approximately 26,000 members. DOR assumes 5% of these members will make the annual contribution and apply for a St. Louis Zoo license plate.
26,000 x 5% = 1,300 additional license plates
KANSAS CITY ZOO
According to the Kansas City Zoo they have approximately 25,000 members. DOR assumes 5% of these members will make the annual contribution and apply for Kansas City Zoo license plates.
25,000 x 5% = 1,250 additional license plates
ASSUMPTION (continued)
SPRINGFIELD ZOO
According to the Springfield Zoo they have approximately 5,000 members. DOR assumes 5% of these members will make the annual contribution and apply for Springfield Zoo license plates.
5,000 x 5% = 250 additional license plates
Total number of additional special license plates = 4,450
The option for biennial motor vehicle registration began July 1, 2000. Therefore, the following projections are based the number of individuals that have opted for biennial registration which is approximately 80%. DOR anticipates that approximately 25% of the individuals offered biennial registration will choose it. (Even numbered vehicles will be offered in even number years and odd numbered vehicles will be offered in odd number years.)
FY02
$77,875 x 75% = $58,406 Highway Fund
$77,875 x 15% = $11,681 Cities
$77,875 x 10% = $ 7,788 CART
FY03 and 04
$66,750 x 75% = $50,063 Highway Fund
$66,750 x 15% = $10,013 Cities
$66,750 x 10% = $ 6,675 CART
Officials from the Department of Transportation concur with the Department of Revenue's response.
