Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The purpose of this bill is to provide for one free Gold Star Family license plate to a Gold Star parent. This eliminates the one-time fee of $10, the annual registration fee of $50, the $1 litter fee, and the annual $0.50 insurance fee. There are 64 Gold Star plates currently in existence. We estimate that half of the Gold Star plates 33 are issued to parents. The Division estimates that this number will remain consistent with one new plate sold each year and one plate not renewed each year. Therefore, the Division estimates that revenue will decrease by $1,710 (($10 x 1 new plate) + ($51.50 x 33)).
