The estimated revenues are based upon DPS projections of driver license issuances and renewals. In fiscal years 2004 and 2005, the full $12 increase in license fees would be deposited to a newly-created General Revenue Dedicated Account—Reengineering for use only to support reengineering of the new system. For fiscal years 2006 through 2008, $2 of the fee increase would be deposited to the newly-created General Revenue Dedicated Account —Drivers's License System for use only to replace, maintain, or support the system. The remaining $10 would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund. DPS did not report the number of first-time applicants for a Class M license, or the number of first-time applicants for additional authorization to operate a motorcycle. As a result, revenue estimates related to motorcycle licenses were not part of calculations for this fiscal note.
DPS reports this project will involve replacing failing hardware in the driver license offices and rewriting outdated driver license programs to provide the enhanced biometrics collection and retrieval capabilities. Additionally, this project establishes a Fraud Investigation Unit charged with investigating both internal and external criminal activity involving fraudulent and counterfeit documents and cases of identity theft and document tampering.
