Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Transportation Code relating to the disposition of fines and administrative penalties collected for violations of certain laws involving the operation of an overweight vehicle. The bill would amend Sections 621.506(g) and 623.019(e) to direct the Comptroller to deposit fines collected under those sections to the credit of the State Highway Fund (Fund 6). Currently those amounts are deposited to the credit of the General Revenue Fund (Fund 1). The bill would add new Subsection 623.271(g) to direct the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to deposit to Fund 6 an administrative penalty collected under this section for violations of Sections 621.506 and 623.019.The bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Methodology
Historical data from Comptroller records for overweight vehicle fines provided the basis for this estimate, and those figures were forecast using the projected growth rates for overweight vehicle permit revenue in the 2016-17 Biennial Revenue Estimate. Administrative penalties imposed by DMV for violations of Sections 621.506 and 623.019 of the Transportation Code are not included in the table above, but not anticipated to be significant.This legislation would do one or more of the following: create or recreate a dedicated account inthe General Revenue Fund, create or recreate a special or trust fund either with or outside of theTreasury, or create a dedicated revenue source. The fund, account, or revenue dedication includedin this bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current Legislature.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
