Fiscal Note
SB0181S01 - Off-highway Vehicle Use on Public Highways
State Impact:
Enactment of this bill will not require additional appropriations. There are 196,000 off-highway vehicles registered in the State. It is unknown how many of these will pay the $5 new plate fee in order to drive on public highways. For every individual that does pay the new plate fee, $4 is for dedicated credits and $1 goes to the Transportation Fund.
| Funding Source | FY 2008 Approp. | FY 2009 Approp. | FY 2010 Approp. | FY 2008 Revenue | FY 2009 Revenue | FY 2010 Revenue |
| Total | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
Individual, Business and/or Local Impact:
Depending upon the municipality in which one resides, those that wish and are allowed to operate a street-legal all-terrain vehicle on a public highway may incur costs associated with insurance and will experience a one-time cost to have their vehicle inspected, as well as pay the $5 new plate fee. Depending on the locality, there may be increased costs for enforcement. Businesses are likely unaffected.
