SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Bill 889 appropriates
$80.0 from the general fund to the Motor Vehicle Division of the Taxation and
Revenue Department to fund a motor vehicle field office in
Significant
Issues
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
*The appropriation of $80.0
contained in this bill is a nonrecurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance
remaining at the end of fiscal year 2004 shall revert to the general fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
If this legislation is
“to fund a motor vehicle field office in Mora County” as the bill states, then TRD’s Motor Vehicle Division will need substantially more
money to convert it to a state-run MVD office.
Lease costs, salary and benefits, utilities, etc., will need to be
compiled to ascertain how much a state-run office in Mora will cost. TRD has not yet responded to LFC’s request for information.
In addition, if Mora’s
motor vehicle is not profitable --if the need and demand for a motor vehicle business
is low, then perhaps there is no need for an office in Mora. It is suggested that the demand, transaction
level and profitability be analyzed by TRD’s Motor
Vehicle Division in order to assess Mora’s need for a separate motor vehicle
office. NOTE: There is a new motor vehicle office in Angel
Fire which is approximately 20 miles from Mora.
