Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to establish a program for camera assisted speed enforcement in active work zones in this state, to be implemented by the West Virginia Department of Transportation.
As a result of this bill the Division would need to add personnel in order to conduct administrative hearings. The Division estimates this will require two (2) hearing examiners at an average annual salary of $53,516 each, and two paralegals at an average annual salary of $35,451 each. Total cost of salary for these four positions would be $177,862 (($53,516,x 2)+($35,415 x 2)). The projected benefit cost is $87,152 which produces a total personal services cost of $265,014 ($177,862 + $87,152).
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; laptops $3,236 printer $400, Office of Technology charge to set up laptop $800, cell phone $120, data plan $1,260, vehicle rent $14,640, office supplies $800. The Division will incur mailing costs of approximately $450. The Division will also need to retain the services of an attorney, through the Attorney General’s office, to represent the Division in circuit court. The Division estimates this cost to be $91,000 per year. Total first year current expense would be $116,306 ($3,600 + $3,236 + $400 + $800 + $120 + $1,260 + $800 + $14,640 + $450 + $91,000).
Recurring costs for future years include the data plan $1,260, office supplies $800, vehicle rental $14,640, mailing costs of $450, and attorney representation of $91,000 for a total of $108,150 ($1,260 + $800 + $14,640 + $450 + $91,000).
The bill provides for the suspension of the registration for vehicles not complying with the fines for speeding in the work zone. This would invoke a registration reinstatement fee of $10. The Division estimates there will be 4,518 registrations suspended annually producing revenue of $45,180 (4,518 * $10).
