Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue an annual permit for the movement of ocean cargo shipping containers on a trailer with three axles if the combination of vehicles transporting the containers is within certain axle weight limits specified by the bill. The bill would prescribe a fee of $1,000 for the annual permit.The bill would take effect on September 1, 2015.
Methodology
Based on the analysis of the DMV, it is assumed 500 of the new permits would be issued beginning in fiscal year 2015 at $1,000 per permit and the number of permits and associated fee revenue would increase by approximately 5.8 percent each fiscal year. Because the bill does not specify the disposition of revenue for the new permit fee, it is assumed the fee would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund.Based on the information provided by the DMV, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
