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 certain identification documents to homeless individuals, residing at homeless shelters within this state, at no cost.
The bill provides for the issuance of Identification cards and replacement driver licenses to residents of West Virginia homeless shelters at no cost. It does not change any of the requirements for obtaining an Identification card or driver license.
The Division estimates the volume of identification card and replacement driver licenses will increase by approximately 380 per year. The cost of each card, including card production and postage is $2.90. Total additional expense of card production is $1,102 (380 cards X $2.90 per card).
The Division estimates it is currently issuing 280 identification cards annually to residents of homeless shelters. These cards would now be issued at no cost to the customer. Each card is issued for an average of 5 years at $5 per year for a revenue reduction of $7,000 (280 cards x 5 years x $5 per year).
The Division also estimates there are 100 replacement driver licenses issued annually to residents of homeless shelters that would now be at no cost to the customer. Each replacement driver license carries a fee of $7.50 for a revenue reduction of $750 ($7.50 per card x 100 cards).
The agency would recognize a total revenue reduction of $7,750 ($7,000 IDs + $750 duplicates).
