Explanation
The bill allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to require that
persons with a school bus or student transportation vehicle license
submit to state background checks periodically, resulting in a potential
revenue gain to the state to the extent additional background checks are
conducted. The Department of Emergency Services and Public
Protection (DESPP) conducts state background checks for a $75 fee per
person. DESPP may conduct fingerprinting for a $15 fee per person,
paid to the Applicant Fingerprint Card Submission Account.

The bill also makes various changes to the government
administration statutes resulting in no fiscal impact to the state.

Funds in the non-lapsing Applicant Fingerprint Card Submission Account are used
for IT support and maintenance for the fingerprinting systems. 2023SB-01154-R000498-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of background checks
conducted by DESPP.
