FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Transportation, Department of Economic Development and Attorney General's Office assume no fiscal impact.



Officials of the Department of Revenue assume this proposal extends the sunset provision from January 1, 2004 to January 1, 2005. However, the Department of Revenue would have to notify tire retailers that the tire fee program was reactivated. All tire fee accounts must be programmatically reactivated requiring an estimated 173 hours or $5,771 and mailing costs of $563.



Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume the proposed legislation would extend the sunset date on the waste tire fee. The waste tire fee generates about $2.1 million dollars annually. The DNR assumes the revenue will be used to fund continued removal of illegally dumped tiers, educational programs, and grants to end users.
