Explanation
The bill allows all municipalities, rather than just those with
populations of 20,000 or more, to seize all-terrain vehicles (ATVs)
under certain conditions and pursuant to a local ordinance. Any ATVs
ordered forfeited pursuant to such an ordinance are required to be sold
at public auction and results in a potential revenue gain that will vary
based on the auction proceeds.
As an illustration, the City of Waterbury sold five ATVs at public
auction in FY 20, ranging from $310 to $1,326, for a total revenue gain
to the city of $3,791.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of ATVs sold at public
auctions.
