Fiscal Note Summary


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


The purpose of this bill is to expand the alcohol test and lock program to offenders with a drug related offense, to authorize the commissioner to require drug testing , to authorize the deferral of the revocation period for a participant with a drug offense, and to authorize an offender of ยง17B-4-3 to participate in the motor vehicle alcohol and drug test and lock program. The Division estimates that expanding the program to include individuals with drug related offenses will create 140 new participants per year. For each applicant, the Division will incur expenses for supplies of postage totaling approximately $5 for a total Current Expense of $700 ($5 X 140 participants). The Division will need to process and monitor the participants. This will require the Division to add 1 new employee. The new employee will devote 50% of their time processing and monitoring the drug related offenders. The average annual salary, with benefits, for a Customer Service Representative is $39,000. Therefore, salary and benefit cost associated with this bill is $19,500 ($39,000 x 50%). Total expense would be $20,200 ($19,500 + $700). For each applicant, the Division can expect to receive the $100 program fee and the $50 reinstatement fee. Total revenue generated $21,000 (($100 + $50) x 140 participants).
