Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require reports to be given to the Commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles when a health care provider or law-enforcement officer has reason to believe that a motor vehicle driver may suffer from a condition which renders the driver incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely.
As a result of this bill the Division would need to add personnel in order to process the anticipated volume of reports. The Division estimates this will require three (3) DMV Specialists at an average annual salary of $33,841 each, a DMV Specialist Lead at an average annual salary of $35,415, and a DMV Unit Manager at an average annual salary of $40,137. Total cost of salary for these five positions would be $177,075 (($33,841 x 3)+$35,415 + $40,137). The projected benefit cost is $86,767 which produces a total personal services cost of $263,842 ($177,075 + $86,767).
Salary and benefits would be an annually recurring expense in future years.
The employees will need to be outfitted with the following equipment and services; Computers and monitors $3,000, Office of Technology charge to set up computers $1,000, office supplies $1,000. The Division will incur mailing costs of approximately $8,470. Total first year current expense would be $13,470 ($3,000 + $1,000 + $1,000 + $8,470).
Recurring costs for future years include the office supplies $1,000 and mailing costs of $8,470, for a total of $9,470 ($1,000 + $8,470).
The Division would experience an increase of driver license suspensions of approximately 932. Of this number, approximately 30%, or 280, (932 x 30%) would qualify for reinstatement. This would generate revenue of $14,000 (280 X $50 reinstatement fee).
The estimates in this fiscal note are based upon the implementation of a similar plan in the state of Pennsylvania.
