Fiscal Detail and Notes
Highway Fund revenue will be increased by $430,000 in fiscal year 2027-28 and 2028-29 from increased fines for speeding tickets during the pilot project.
The Maine Turnpike Authority has estimated that the 3 year pilot project will cost approximately $1-2 million.
Any additional costs to the Departments of Public Safety and Secretary of State to implement the provisions of this bill are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
