The bill would specify that the fee for the new specialty license plate, after deduction of DMV administrative costs, is to be deposited to the General Revenue Fund to be used by the Office of the Governor to make grants to nonprofit organizations to fund the purchase of police dogs by law enforcement agencies.The bill would take effect on January 1, 2016. Methodology Pursuant to Transportation Code Section 504.601, the fee for the new specialty license plate would be $30. Based on the information and analysis provided by the DMV, this analysis assumes 200 of the new specialty license plates would be issued each year at a fee of $30 each of which $7.50 would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund for DMV administrative expenses, $0.50 would be retained by the counties, and $22 would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund and may be used by the Governor's office to provide grants. This analysis assumes $4,400 each year would remain after deduction of DMV and county administrative expenses.Based on the information provided by the DMV and the Governor's office, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
