This bill changes
the annual inspection requirement for motor vehicles, except commercial
vehicles, trailers and semitrailers, to a biennial inspection
requirement. It is assumed that all
vehicles inspected in fiscal year 2007-08 would need to be inspected in
fiscal year 2008-09 since these vehicles would have one-year stickers. Based upon this assumption, there will be
no fiscal impact in fiscal year 2008-09.
The impact in fiscal year 2009-10 assumes vehicles inspected in fiscal
year 2008-09 would be given two-year stickers, and that only new vehicles
would be inspected in fiscal year 2009-10.
The loss of revenue for fiscal year 2010-11 is based upon new vehicles
purchased and first inspected during fiscal year 2009-10 not inspected in
fiscal year 2010-11. This bill will
also result in a loss of fine revenue to the General Fund of $1,150,000 in
fiscal year 2009-10 and $55,545 in fiscal year 2010-11 due to the reduced
number of traffic infractions issued for inspection violations. |
