Department of Motor Vehicles
The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of 4/2/07):
- Reduces the department’s All Funds budget by $1,291,000; all the reduction is in Special Revenue Other funds. This reduction is associated with the rejection of the Internet Point Insurance Reduction program and includes a $260,000 cut in personal services. The impact of this cut should be clarified at Statewide Labor Management.
- Decreases by $572,000 Capital Project appropriations (DH&BTF) for contractual services.
The Senate and Assembly recommend (analysis as of March 16, 2007):
Senate: Adds $20 million in a General Fund maintenance undistributed appropriation in the Administration program related to services and expenses of the DMV. This offsets a cut of $20 million in Capital Projects special revenue-other appropriation which was funded by the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.
Assembly: Eliminates all funding for the Internet Point Insurance Reduction Program, a decrease of $1.2 million, including $260,000 for personal services.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 31, 2007):
A FY 2007-08 workforce of 2,833. This is an increase of 58 from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2006-07. The following chart identifies adjustments in current fiscal years FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2007-08 FTEs by program (if the FTE’s are the same the program is not listed):

- The total appropriation for Personal Service is $137.6 million, an increase of 2.6%.
- An All Funds decrease of (-$14 million, or -10%) from SFY 2006-07. This decrease is primarily due to the elimination of a $20 million maintenance undistributed appropriation in the Administration program that was added by the Legislature last year to off-set the loss of support from the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund (DHBTF). However, according to the Assembly analysis, this spending authorization was never made available to the Department. It appears that the Executive Budget proposes some additional support from the DHBTF for the new 46 DMV positions in the Transportation Support program. After accounting for the $20 million offset added by the Legislature last year, which is not continued in the proposed Executive Budget, the support from the DHBTF is increased by $9.45 million, $2.268 million of which is for personal services. This appears to be inadequate to support 46 new positions and contractual increases for those already working in the program. The purpose of these new positions, their funding source, and when they will begin should be clarified at statewide labor management.
- A new Internet Point Insurance Reduction Program Account is added to the Transportation Safety program which will apparently fund 4 new positions.
- The personal services funding increase in the Administrative Adjudication program does not appear adequate to support 8 new positions and contractual increases for those already working in the program. This issue should be clarified at statewide labor management. According to the Assembly these positions are all administrative law judges, anticipated to reduce the volume of Driver Responsibility Assessment Program complaints in traffic court.
- A decrease of 15 in the estimated number of employees employed under consulting contracts for a total of 30. The average annual cost per contract employee is estimated at $105,110, a 32% increase from SFY2006-07. The purpose of these contract employees and whether their work could be performed by State employees should be discussed at statewide labor management.
