FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



The Department of Transportation (DOT) concurs with the Department of Revenue's response to this proposal.



The Department of Revenue (DOR) Motor Vehicle Bureau (MVB) stated that there would only be approximately 100 applications for this type of license plate. Accordingly, the MVB assumes this proposal would have minimal impact on the DOR and could be processed with existing resources.



The DOR assumes this proposal requires the payment of an additional $15 fee for this special plate. However, the DOR estimates this fee would have minimal impact on any funds because of the minimum number of applications anticipated.

FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2001 FY 2002 FY 2003

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.





DESCRIPTION



This bill allows for special license plates for Native Americans. To obtain this special plate a person must obtain an application from the Director of Revenue and provide proof of Indian ancestry or tribal membership.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
