	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.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill makes changes in ATV registration fees and the formula by which these fees are distributed.  These proposed changes are in conflict with ATV registration fees which are authorized by Part III of PL 2005, c. 12 which takes effect on June 30, 2005.  The fiscal impact discussed here is relative to the changes made in PL 2005, c. 12.
	The changes in ATV registration fees and the formula by which these fees are distributed will result in the loss of $538,916 and  $718,554 in General Fund revenues collected by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively.  In addition, there will also be a loss of $276,573 and $368,764 in Other Special Revenue Funds revenue collected by the Department of Conservation and a increase of $7,997 and $10,663 in Other Special Revenue Funds revenue collected by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively.  Finally, the annual distribution of revenue to municipalities will increase by $169,991 and $226,655 in fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively.
