TO: | Honorable Kip Averitt, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB969 by Estes (Relating to exemptions from certain fees for government vessels and outboard motors.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Parks and Wildlife Code to propose an exemption from boat and outboard motor title fees if the vessel is used exclusively for federal and or state purposes. If the bill is adopted, the revenue loss to the State is not anticipated to be significant ($20,400 per fiscal year in the General Revenue-Dedicated Game, Fish and Water Safety Account No. 9).
The bill would take immediate effect with two-thirds the vote of all members; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
