Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring that the State Police within the Department of Public Safety must confiscate certain vehicles will represent additional costs and revenues to the General Fund and to the Highway Fund.  The amounts of increased costs could be significant and will depend on various towing charges and storage fees that will be incurred until court cases are resolved.  The revenue that will be realized from the value of confiscated vehicles will depend on the number and market value of vehicles that have been seized; the amounts can not be determined at this time.
