Department of Motor Vehicles
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 26, 2004):
· A year end FTE level of 2,810 which represents a decrease of 7 FTEs in SFY 2004-05. However, the current FTE level is 104 fewer than was anticipated in the SFY 2003-04 budget. This decrease appears to be related to the lack of Legislative support for the Homeland Security Identification Centers proposed in last year’s Executive Budget and the 126 FTEs associated with that funding. This was offset by an increase of 22 FTEs in the Transportation Safety Program in the current year.
· A 55 FTE increase in the Transportation Safety Program (General Fund). This increase is related to a $4.7 million increase in funding, $2.9 million of which is a personal service increase for a new license integrity program. This is similar to the Homeland Security Program for which the Legislature denied funding in the SFY 2003-04 budget.
· A 60 FTE decrease in the Transportation Support Program (Capital Projects – Other). According to the Division of Budget, reductions will be achieved through attrition.
· Proposes a $10.3 million (10%) reduction in the All Funds appropriation for the Department. This reduction is offset by a $15.2 million increase in Capital Projects funds which are not include in the All Funds calculation. This continues last year’s redirection of Transportation Safety Special Revenue – Other (SRO) into the Dedicated Highway & Bridge Trust (DHBT) fund. Since the Transportation Safety SRO appropriation of $21.2 million is eliminated, it appears that only $15.2 million of these funds were transferred to the Dedicated Highway & Bridge Trust (DHBT) fund.
· These Capital Projects funds now support 1,874 FTEs in the Department. While the funding for the Capital Projects program is increased by $15.2 million, personal service funding is actually decreased by $6.9 million, reflecting in part the reduction of 66 FTEs in this program. This is offset by an increase of $23.2 million in the non personal service appropriation and a $1.4 million increase in the fringe benefits appropriation that appears out of line with the decrease in personal service funding.
· Proposes a $16.2 million reduction in the overall Special Revenue –Other appropriation for DMV, reflecting the transfer of the Transportation Safety SRO to Capital Projects which is partially offset by overall SRO increases of almost $5 million in the Administrative Adjudication, Clean Air and Compulsory Insurance Programs.
· There are a number of unexplained increases in funding for non personal service and fringe benefits that appear to be out of line with the increases in personal service. For example, in the Administrative Adjudication program non personal service funding increases by $1.9 million (24%) and fringe benefits by $1.6 million (27%) while personal service is increased by $140,000 (.8%). The Clean Air Program has a fringe benefits increase of $1 million (45%), while the Compulsory Insurance Program has a fringe increase of $681,000 (26%). Clarification of these funding anomalies should be sought from DMV management.
· Proposes a bill to delay in the implementation of the State Hazmat Fingerprinting Program to address Federal requirements. Enactment is necessary to implement the SFY2004-05 Executive Budget because the 2004-05 Financial Plan includes funding for five months of State costs of administering the anticipated Federal Hazmat Program.
· Proposes legislation to establish a Driver Responsibility Program imposing additional monetary assessments for drivers convicted of drug or alcohol offenses. Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the Executive Budget because it includes $17.5 million in new recurring revenues related to these new assessments some of which will support DMV’s costs to administer the new program.
· In 2004-05, the Department will expand its “private sector partnering opportunities” in order to provide customers with more convenient alternatives for transacting DMV business.
