Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2013 General Session
SB0087 - Impoundment of Vehicles Amendments
State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Each year approximately 10,000 vehicles are impounded under current law, and enacting this bill may reduce that number. The actual reduction in the number of vehicles that will be impounded is difficult to estimate, but for every 1,000 vehicles (10% of the total) that are not impounded, there will be an ongoing revenue reduction of about $350,000 to the following accounts beginning in FY�2014:
1. General Fund - ($204,000)
2. General Fund Restricted - Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Account - ($20,000)
3. Transportation Fund Restricted - Department of Public Safety Account - ($97,000)
4. Dedicated Credits - ($29,000)
If this bill is found to be in conflict with certain federal regulations in regards to impoundment and immobilization, this could result in forgone federal revenue of $4,134,800 in FY 2014 and $8,269,600 ongoing in FY 2015

Local Governments (UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.
Direct Expenditures by Utah Residents and Businesses (UCA 36-12-13(2)(d)):
If 10% of total impounds are reduced as a result of this bill, about 1,000 individuals will not have their vehicle impounded and will not pay the associated fee of $350 for a total savings of $350,000.
Performance Note Required? (Joint Rule 4-2-404): No
