IN RE:
HB695 by Clardy (Relating to the enforcement of commercial motor vehicle safety standards in certain municipalities.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to add certain municipalities to an existing certification to apply to enforce commercial motor vehicle safety standards.
According to the Department of Public Safety, no fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
According to the City of Jacksonville, the bill would result in a new FTE being hired in fiscal year 2020 at $126,250 per year with ongoing costs for training, scales, and maintenance of $8,250 per year thereafter. The city indicated this would not be a significant fiscal cost. The city indicates that it would expect $261,120 in additional revenue per year. This was estimated using an average cost per violation of $1,088 in fines and an expected violation rate of one per day (actual violation rates could be higher). The city indicates that it considers this amount of revenue as a significant financial gain.
