Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require the Division of Motor Vehicles to provide an identification card for inmates who do not have a West Virginia identification card or driver's license.
This is an estimate of what the Division anticipates it will cost if personnel are required to go to the prisons in person to produce IDs. The Division anticipates having five employees trained for this function that would be stationed around the state. The average annual salary for similar employees is $37,060. The total annual salaries for five employees would be $185,300 ($37,060,x 5). The average cost of fringe benefits is 37% of the total salaries or $68,561 ($185,300 x 37%). The total salary and benefits would be $253,861 ($185,300 + $68,561).
The Division would need to purchase a vehicle for each employee at an average cost of $35,000 for a total of $175,000 ($35,000 x 5). The average annual fuel and maintenance cost is $3,300 per vehicle producing a total cost of $16,500 (3,300 x 5). Equipment will cost $16,582 per person for a total of $82,910 ($16,582 x 5). There will be a one time fee for delivery and integration of $130,000 and the first year maintenance will cost $12,500. Total first year current expense will be $416,910 ($175,000 + $16,500 + $82,910 + $130,000 + $12,500).
The Division estimates future annual costs as follows: Salary and benefits $253,861, replacement of one vehicle per year $35,000, annual fuel and maintenance cost $16,500, equipment replacement $16,582 equipment maintenance $12,500. Total annual costs of $334,443 ($253,861 + $35,000 + $16,500 + $16,582 + $12,500).
There are approximately 42,500 prisoners released each year in WV. These individuals would no longer be charged $25.00 for a State ID. State IDs are issued for 5 years, charging $5 per year for $25 total. Total annual revenue reduction of $1,062,500 (42,500 X $25)
