Fiscal Note Summary


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


The purpose of this bill is to allow for a permanent windshield placard to be valid for the duration of the applicant's life. This bill is by request of the Department of Transportation. Every 5 years the Division of Motor Vehicles sends a renewal notice, and instructions, to all holders of the “Handicap Placard”. The notice informs the placard holder to have their doctor complete a form certifying that they still qualify for the placard, and return the same to the Division. The Division then processes the applications, updates the records, and mails decals denoting the new expiration date to the Placard Holder. This bill would eliminate this process and all associated costs. This process generates personal services costs totaling $75,304. Current Expense costs include mailing supplies of $74,164, Postage of $179,550, and inventory (decals) of $135,000.
