Explanation
The bill creates new infractions related to ice cream trucks,
including improperly equipping, operating, approaching or overtaking
an ice cream truck as described in the bill. The bill makes certain
infractions, which are not crimes, subject to up to a $500 fine for
subsequent offenses. To the extent that offenders are fined, the bill
results in potential minimal revenue gain.
The bill also requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to
post on its website information about the bill's requirements. There is
no fiscal impact to DMV because this can be incorporated into the
department's current operations.
Senate “A” eliminates the bill and its associated impact and results
in the impact described above.
Senate "B" allows a local traffic authority to provide limited 2021SB-00608-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
exemptions to the original bill's requirements and results in the impact
described above.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of violations.
