STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

Explanation of Fiscal Impact

State Expenditure

This bill provides that if a commercial motor vehicle is registered through the International Registration Plan and is operated under a United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) number assigned to a person other than the vehicle's owner, then the person to whom the USDOT number is assigned may register the commercial motor vehicle by submitting the appropriate application to DMV. This bill codifies existing agency procedures. Since the agency is complying with the requirements of the legislation, this bill will not have an expenditure impact on the general fund, federal funds, or other funds.
