STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES:

See Below

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON FEDERAL & OTHER FUND EXPENDITURES IS:

See Below

EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:

Note: To date, no response to the potential fiscal impact of this Bill has been received from the Department of Public Safety's Division of Motor Vehicle Division. The explanation below was used as it was submitted in response to the potential fiscal impact of House Bill 4620 of the last legislative session since they are identical in nature. Should different information be received from the agency, it will be forwarded in a revised fiscal impact statement.

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) states there would be no impact on the General Fund of the State as the bill merely authorizes the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to enter into contracts with the specified entities. Assuming that DMV undertook to contract out certain services, the division would have to conduct contract negotiations to determine whether there would be added costs or savings associated with contracting with and the supervision of the parties who would provide the services.
