FISCAL NOTE TO


ASSEMBLY, No. 870


STATE OF NEW JERSEY


DATED: July 2, 1996



      Assembly Bill No. 870 of 1996 increases the penalty for the illegal parking of large trucks (26,001 or more pounds) on divided highways in the State from $50 to a minimum of $100, but not more than $200.

      The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) states that its Municipal Court Services Division is unable to provide statistics as to the number of citations issued to vehicles with a gross weight rating of 26,001 or more. As a result, there is no information available concerning the increased revenue to be generated by this bill. The AOC notes that it is expected that there will be some nominal expenses to the municipality directly proportionate to the number of complaints filed by law enforcement, as well as nominal revenue generated as a result of guilty judgments.

      The Office of Legislative Services concurs.

 

This fiscal note has been prepared pursuant to P.L.1980, c.67.
