Fiscal Note Summary


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


The purpose of this bill is to revise procedures for drivers’ license suspensions and revocations for driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs. The number revocations in Fiscal Year 2017 amount to 10,435. This total includes the number of court ordered revocations at 3,740. The Division estimates that the total revocations will be reduced to the Fiscal Year 2017 court ordered revocations numbers at 3,740. This is a reduction of 6,695 with a reinstatement fee of $50 per reinstatement producing a reduction in revenue of $334,750. The Division estimates that the Inter-lock revenue will be reduced to a level comparable with Fiscal Year 2005 when the Inter-lock program was voluntary. This produces a reduction of revenue of $196,100 (FY17 $357,900 - FY05 $161,800). Additionally, the Division will not be collecting the associated Docket and Fearing fees of $13,415 and $5,662 respectively Once all files are cleared a reduction of approximately, $1,117,765 in annual payments to the Attorney General's office would no longer be required. This reduction of expense will not occur for at least 3 years.
