IN RE:
HB1908 by Moody (Relating to the indigent status of a person for purposes of the driver responsibility program.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the courts to notify the Department of Public Safety (DPS) as soon as practicable after the court has determined a person in the Driver Responsibility Program is indigent and cannot pay their surcharge. DPS indicates that the bill would require the agency to modify the Driver License System to include new reporting fields. LBB analysis of DPS indicates that these activities could be completed with existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The Office of Court Administration indicates that no significant fiscal impact to local courts is anticipated.
