FISCAL NOTE

The exempt plate portion of this bill has no fiscal impact; exempt agencies will still pay the same amount for their plates. The change to the trip permits is expected to lead to a slight revenue increase. Two recent bills have resulted in a decrease in the purchase of required trip permits. One allows drivers to not post temporary permits in their windows, and the other clarifies that certain transporters do not need to stop at ports of entry. However, these transports are still subject to trip permit requirements, which would often be purchased at ports of entry upon stopping. Some interstate transporters appear to be willing to risk not purchasing the trip permit due to a decreased chance of being caught. In FY22 48,430 trip permits were sold, in FY23 38,813 trip permits were sold, and FY24 34,552 trip permits were sold. It is expected that this bill will cause an increase in trip permit purchases as the risk calculation will change. The volume will likely return closer to the FY22
