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 credit of an account in the license plate trust fund created by the Comptroller. The bill would authorize money deposited to the account to be used only by the attorney general to provide grants to benefit organizations operating in Texas that raise awareness of, conduct research on, or provide services for persons diagnosed with childhood cancer.The bill would take effect on September 1, 2017. Methodology Based on the information and analysis provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles (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 TxDMV Fund 10 for DMV administrative expenses; $0.50 would be retained by the counties; and $22 would be deposited to an account in the License Plate Trust Fund in the in the treasury and may be appropriated to the attorney general to provide grants to benefit organizations operating in Texas that raise awareness of, conduct research on, or provide services for persons diagnosed with childhood cancer. Based on LBB's analysis of information provided by DMV and the Office of the Attorney General, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.This legislation would do one or more of the following: create or recreate a dedicated account in the General Revenue Fund, create or recreate a special or trust fund either with or outside of the Treasury, or create a dedicated revenue source. The fund, account, or revenue dedication included in this bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current Legislature. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
