Fiscal Detail and Notes
The State Police within the Department of Public Safety may see increases in violations as a result of this legislation.  More violations would result in more court time for State Police troopers.  If the court time falls on a scheduled day off the trooper would be paid overtime for at least 4 hours, potentially increasing both General Fund and Highway Fund costs to the Department of Public Safety.
Additional costs to the Department of Public safety and Department of Transportation related to the working group can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
