Fiscal Note Summary


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


The purpose of this bill is to improve access to government identification for the homeless and elderly. This is an estimate of what the Division anticipates it will cost if personnel are required to travel throughout the state and visit community centers, Senior living centers, and other public spaces on a regular basis. The Division anticipates having five employees trained for this function that would be stationed around the state. The average annual salary for similar employees is $37,060. The total annual salaries for five employees would be $185,300 ($37,060,x 5). The average cost of fringe benefits is 37% of the total salaries or $68,561 ($185,300 x 37%). The total salary and benefits would be $253,861 ($185,300 + $68,561). The Division would need to purchase a vehicle for each employee at an average cost of $35,000 for a total of $175,000 ($35,000 x 5). The average annual fuel and maintenance cost is $3,300 per vehicle producing a total cost of $16,500 (3,300 x 5). Equipment will cost $16,582 per person for a total of $82,910 ($16,582 x 5). There will be a one time fee for delivery and integration of $130,000 and the first year maintenance will cost $12,500. The Division’s fingerprinting costs will be $75.00 per card. If the anticipated volume of these cards is 10,000 then the total costs for fingerprinting will be $750,000 ($75 X 10,000). Total first year current expense will be $1,166,910 ($175,000 + $16,500 + $82,910 + $130,000 + $12,500 + $750,000). The Division estimates future annual costs as follows: Salary and benefits $253,861, replacement of one vehicle per year $35,000, annual fuel and maintenance cost $16,500, equipment replacement $16,582 equipment maintenance $12,500, fingerprinting cost of $750,000. Total annual costs of $1,084,443 ($253,861 + $35,000 + $16,500 + $16,582 + $12,500+$750,000). The fingerprinting procedure noted above will require the applicant to visit a DMV contracted site to have the fingerprint processed. The process will take approximately 12-14 days which will include scheduling the appointment and getting the results of the fingerprint.
