Explanation
Sections 1 and 2 reduce the motor vehicle mill rate cap from 45 to
34.46 and make corresponding changes to the mill rate cap
reimbursement grant formula. The revised FY 23 budget provides $100
million for reimbursement.
Section 3 requires any that any over-collection of recoveries for the
State Employees Retirement System (SERS) funds must be deposited to
the State Employees Retirement Fund (SERF). Currently, any over-
collection of recoveries is deposited to the General Fund as revenue,
while under-collections result in a reduced contribution to SERS. To the
extent that there are such over-collection of recoveries, there will be
increased deposits to SERF and a reduction to General Fund revenues.
Section 4 allows state agencies to designate agency EV charging
stations as either (1) available for public use; (2) for the sole use of state
employees; or (3) for a combination of both state employees and the
public. It further requires state agencies to collect fees on non-state
vehicles for such use and to deposit the revenue into the fund from
which the expenses for installing the relevant EV infrastructure were
paid, resulting in a revenue gain to the respective fund (primarily GF or
STF). Additionally, violations of these provisions are infractions and 2022SB-00009-R000642-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
result in potential minimal revenue gain to the GF.
Section 5 results in potential savings to the General Fund by allowing
state agencies’ expenditures that are associated with activities
authorized under PA 21-1 JSS, AAC Responsible and Equitable
Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis, to be paid out of Social Equity and
Innovation Fund. The Social Equity and Innovation Fund, created under
PA 21-1 JSS, is a separate, non-lapsing fund that is funded by certain
licensing fees and a portion of the state cannabis tax.
