FISCAL NOTE
FY 2026FY 2027FY 2028NON-ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTAnticipated Expenditure increaseHIGHWAY FUND$2,000 $0 $0
Source of expenditure increase:
Wyoming Department of Transportation specialty plate design and testing.
Assumptions:
It is assumed there would be one-time expenditure increases of $2,000 from the
Highway Fund for design and testing for the new specialty plate.
The expenditure increase reflected above could be considered an administrative
cost. However, for simplicity and to follow consistent practice on legislation of
this type, it is included on the fiscal note.
There is an indeterminable revenue increase to the Search and Rescue Account from
fees collected for search and rescue specialty plates and from donations collected
on applications for vehicle registrations. This bill creates an initial $100 fee
for applicants and a $25 annual fee to retain eligibility for search and rescue
license plates. This bill also requires applications for vehicle registrations to
have the option for owners to donate an additional amount to support search and
rescue operations. The number of specialty plates purchased and the amount of
donations received on applications for vehicle registrations are unknown.
