realize the maximum benefit for those programs from the sale of the respective special plates.
This legislation will not increase the cost to citizens of special plates dedicated to funding
specific programs, ie wildlife, snowv skier, snowmobile, timber and university, but will enable
the amount deposited in special accounts dedicated to each program to increase, while allowing
the Idaho Department of Transportation to recover estimated costs of administering the
respective programs. Ten dollars ($10.00) of the cost of each special plate will be deposited in
the state highway account to administer the program The balance of the cost of each plate will be
deposited in the respective accounts pertaining to each special plate.
FISCAL NOTE
The Idaho Department of Transportation estimates cost of administering these special plate
prograrns to be approximately $10.00 per plate. This legrslation allocates the distribution of
funds in a manner which more accurately reflects actual costs. While no fiscal impact is
estimated for the cost of administration by the Idaho Department of Transportation, the revenues
generated to the specific prograrns for which the plates were authorized may increase by as much
as 190%. This increase can be used by the respective programs funded by tne special plates to
offset general account expenditures, increase federal match for programs, increase scholarships
for Idaho students, provide for recreational opportunities or promote Idaho tourism.
