|
This bill
includes an ongoing Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $40,000 in
fiscal year 2024-25 to the Multimodal Transportation Fund in the Department
of Transportation for accident reviews and analyses regarding hazardous
materials performed by a qualified entity. The Fund has sufficient cash to
fund the allocation. |
|
Any revenue
collected associated with civil fines assessed on railroad companies for not
providing notices required would increase Other Special Revenue Funds to the
Department of Transportation. It is not known at this time if any civil fines
will be issued and no estimate of any potential increased revenue has been
made. |
|
Any additional
costs to the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management
associated with providing notifications and alerts are expected to be minor
and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
