The Secretary of
State's budget includes sufficient funds to accommodate one ballot of average
length for the general election in November. If the number or size of the
referendum questions increases the ballot length, an additional appropriation
of $8,000 or more may be required. A
special election would require an additional appropriation of $121,392. |

|
|
Allowing
certain commercial vehicles to travel subject to the provisions of the pilot
project authorized by this bill could represent the loss of significant
amounts of federal highway funds unless the project is approved by the
federal government. The amounts of
any possible revenue loss will depend on the actions of the federal
government and can not be determined at this time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
bill also authorizes the Department of Transportation to establish certain
fees to be collected by the Secretary of State for the Highway Fund which
will cover all related costs of the pilot project including any subsequent
road damage. The amounts will depend
on the fees established by the department. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
addition, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles within the Department of the Secretary
of State will require a one-time Highway Fund allocation of $6,000 in fiscal
year 2005-06 for the costs of reprogramming the bureau's computer system to
accommodate the provisions of the pilot program. |
