Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill directs that 10% of the sales tax on transportation related items be deposited in the Highway Fund and would result in a reduction in General Fund revenue of $20,327,557 in fiscal year 2018-19 and a corresponding increase in Highway Fund revenue.  The bill also directs that 2% of the sales tax on these items be deposited in the Multimodal Transportation Fund within the Department of Transportation and would result in a reduction in General Fund revenue of $4,065,511 in fiscal year 2018-19 and a corresponding increase in revenue to the Multimodal Transportation Fund.  The net reduction to the General Fund from both provisions is $24,393,068.
	The Department of Administrative and Financial Services would require a one-time General Fund appropriation of $20,000 for programming changes.  The Department of Transportation would require an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $4,065,511 in fiscal year 2018-19 in order to spend this new revenue.
