SB 314-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to state-owned vehicle fleet management.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill would increase state highway fund revenue by an indeterminable amount in FY 2013 and each year thereafter, and increase state general fund expenditures by $51,014 in FY 2013, by $53,995 in FY 2014, by $57,260 in FY 2015, and by $60,757 in FY 2016.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states this bill would require state employees to reimburse the state, through payroll deduction, for non-business use mileage traveled in state vehicles, at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rate ($0.55 per mile, as of December 2, 2011), with all reimbursements credited to the state highway fund. The Department states in FY 2011 there were a total of 1,692,805 non-business use miles reported by all agencies state-wide, less 286,921 driven by vehicles that have subsequently been repurposed, for a net total of 1,405,884 miles. The Department states it is unable to determine how this bill will affect total non-business use mileage reported and therefore is unable to calculate the potential increase to state highway fund revenues in FY 2013 and each year thereafter.
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill would require significant additional administrative responsibilities for processing payroll deductions identified in this bill. The Department states it would need a payroll officer I (labor grade 14) to start on July 1, 2012 for a total salary and benefit cost of $51,014 in FY 2013, $53,995 in FY 2014, $57,260 in FY 2015 and, $60,757 in FY 2016. This bill contains no authorization or appropriation for hiring of additional personnel.
