Fiscal Analysis
  
The bill relates to the timely registration of a motor vehicle after
expiration of the preceding registration year.
  
  
Methodology
  
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot) estimated that registrants
that were paying the 20% penalty for late registration would now pay for
a full twelve month registration under provisions of the bill. TxDot
estimated that the average annual registration fee is $60. Approximately
$40 is deposited to the State Highway Fund 0006, with the remainder
retained by the county.
  
  
Local Government Impact
  
TxDOT estimates that there would be revenue implications to local
governments from provisions of the bill.
