Department of Motor Vehicles

 

The Enacted Budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget’s State Operations appropriations (analysis as of March 31, 2009), but makes the following changes to proposed Article VII legislation:

The 30 day amendments clarify Part G ensuring that the increased motor vehicle registration fees are directed to the DHBTF (analysis as of January 20, 2009):

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of December 22, 2008):

A SFY 2009-10 workforce of 2,876. This is an increase of 15 FTEs from the from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2009-10. This increase reflects staffing needed to accommodate an anticipated large cyclical increase in the department’s drivers’ license renewals, which facilitate revenue collection. The following chart identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year’s FTEs along with the recommended differences in SFY 200-10 FTEs by program (if the FTE’s are the same the program is not listed):

  • The total appropriation for Personal Service is $149.3 million, an increase of $6.5 million (4.6%).
    •
  • The Department employed an estimated 51 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2008-09 at a cost of $4.38 million or an average cost of $86,062 per consultant contract employee.  It is estimated that $4.38 million will be allocated for consultant contracts in SFY 2009-10 for 43 employees, at an average cost of $101,865 per consultant contract employee.
    •

    1 Administrative Adjudication – decrease of $1.6 or -16.4%.

    2 Compulsory Insurance Program – decrease of $1.5 million or -31.8%.

    3 Traffic Safety – Motorcycle Safety Acct – increase of $420,000 or 27.4%.

    4 DHBTF – decrease of $5.9 million or 8.9%.

    1    Make permanent the suspension of driver licenses for certain alcohol-related charges to conform with Federal Law (Part C). Failure to enact will require the State to transfer approximately $19 million annually from highway capital funds to highway safety programs.

    2    Make permanent the suspension/revocation of drivers licenses for certain drug-related offenses. Failure to enact would cost the State ten percent of certain categories of Federal highway capital funds (approximately $63 million annually).

    3    Make permanent the authorization to pay Department of Motor Vehicles costs from the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund (DHBTF) (Part E). Failure to enact will impair the ability to fully fund DMV’s operations.

    4    and $37.6 million thereafter.

    5    Increase registration fees by 25% and direct revenues into the DHBTF (Part G). Enactment of this bill will generate $60.5 million in SFY 2009-10 and $103.7 million thereafter.

    6    Make permanent certain revenues to the DHBTF and Dedicated Mass Transportation Trust Fund (DMTTF) (Part P). The current law must be extended to enable these funds to collect various DMV and other revenues. These funds pay for operational expenses and capital costs of the State’s transit system, Department of Transportation, and DMV. Absent this legislation, the DHBTF and DMTTF would lose approximately $275 million in annual revenues.

    7    Increase fees for the reissue of reflectorized number license plates (PartH). Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2009-10 Executive Budget to generate $129 million for the General Fund in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

    8    Extend provisions relating to the Motor Vehicle Financial Security Act (MVFSA) (PartJ). This bill extends certain provisions of the MVFSA which requires motorists to maintain vehicle insurance at all times. DMV’s Compulsory Insurance program is funded by the fines/penalties for driving uninsured. Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2009-10 Executive Budget to generate $26 million in 2009-10 and thereafter.

    9    Authorize the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to replace the non-commercial driver license written exam with completion of either a 5-hour pre-licensing course or a driver education course (Part N). Allows re-deployment of staff to more critical service areas. Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2009-10 Executive Budget to generate $1.9 million in 2009-10 and thereafter.
