The required local
activities in this bill may represent a state mandate pursuant to the
Constitution of Maine. If the bill does require a local unit of government to
expand or modify its activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures
from local revenue, the state mandate provisions of the Constitution of Maine
require either: (1) General Fund appropriations be provided to fund at least
90% of any additional necessitated local costs of the mandate; or (2) a
Mandate Preamble be added to the bill and two-thirds of the members of each
House vote to exempt the mandate from the funding requirement. If the bill
does represent a state mandate and neither one of these actions occurs, the
local units of government will not be required to implement the mandated
activities. |
| Fiscal Detail
and Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This bill
establishes surcharges on hybrid and battery-electric motor vehicles. The
Department of Secretary of State would require a one-time Highway Fund
allocation of $54,790 in fiscal year 2018-19 for computer programming costs
and modifications to vendor systems to implement the surcharges. These
changes are expected to take one year or more to complete, therefore revenue
will not be recognized until fiscal year 2019-20. Highway Fund revenues would
increase by $2,950,000 beginning in fiscal year 2019-20 based on 19,000
hybrid motor vehicles at $150 and 400 battery-electric motor vehicles at
$250. |
