This bill requires the Secretay of State to establish an on-line system in which a license holder could file a change of address notifying one or more licensing authorities of the change.
The Secretary of State (SOS) does not have an existing database from which the on-line system could be developed. It is anticipated that implementation will result in a cost to the state of $153,920 in fiscal year 2004 for development and operation of the system and $5,600 in the subsequent years for operation of the system. Additional personnel will be required including a programmer in fiscal year 2004 to set up the database and one administrative technician for a total cost of $93,845. After fiscal year 2004 two administrative technicians will be necessary to run the program. Total cost for these full time employees is $119,777. It is anticipated that the SOS system will be required to process between 19,000 to 22,000 changes of address transactions in the first year of implementation. This transaction figure is likely to increase in subsequent fiscal years as more licensees utilize the system and as additional categories are added. No gain to the general revenue is anticipated, as the bill does not authorize the collection of a fee from licensing authorities or license holders.
