Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The purpose of this bill is to remove the fees for license plates, vehicle registration, operator's licenses, registration, and inspection fees for volunteer fire fighters. The Division will incur current expense to program the cash register in the amount of $16,560. There are an estimated 8,000 volunteer firefighters in WV. Exempting these individuals from the annual $50 registration fee will produce a reduction of revenue if $400,000 (8,000 X $50). Exempting the firefighters from the $5 per year driver’s license fee will produce a reduction of revenue of $40,000 (8,000 X $5). Approximately 333 drivers would also be exempt from the fees for other license types (Class D and CDL) which carry a combined incremental fee of $5. This would produce a reduction of revenue of $1,665 ($5 X 333). The total annual reduction of revenue would be $441,665 ($400,000 + $40,000 + $1,665).
