Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require the Division of Motor Vehicles to provide certain identification documents to homeless individuals, residing at homeless shelters within this state, at no cost.
Current cost for ID Cards and Driver’s Licenses issued over the counter is $4.0653 per card or $4.06. The administrative costs for these transactions are estimated at $5 per transaction. ID cards are currently issued on a 5 year cycle for $12.50, and driver’s licenses would be issued at a cost of $13.00.
Certified birth certificates cost $12 each. Because there is no historical data it is estimated that one half of homeless persons would require an ID and one half would require a driver’s license. Each driver’s license and ID cost $4.06 for a total cost of $7,450. Transaction cost is estimated at $5 per transaction for a total cost of $9,175. Driver’s license revenue lost for 917 individuals would be $11,921 and ID revenues lost for 917 individuals would be $11,463. Certified birth certificates for 1835 individuals at a cost of $12 each would be $22,020. Total cost for the initial program start up would be $38,645 with a loss in revenue of $23,384.
Due to the fluid and transient nature of the homeless by speculation it is estimated that following the initial program introduction, no more than one half would require the same service at an estimated total cost of $19,323 per year, and revenue losses of $11,692 thereafter. However, it should be noted that 30 days after issuance all participants are eligible for additional documents at no charge.
