LEGISLATIVE FISCAL ESTIMATE TO

[First Reprint]

SENATE, No. 822

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: MARCH 7, 1997

      Senate Bill No. 822 (1R) of 1996 authorizes the Director of the Division of Motor Vehicles to issue special license plates to volunteer members of a county or municipal Office of Emergency Management. There would be an application fee of $25 for the special plates, which shall be in addition to fees otherwise required by law.

      The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) cannot determine how many Office of Emergency Management volunteers would be interested in obtaining these special license plates, and, therefore, cannot estimate the additional revenue that would be generated by the $25 application fee. However, based on costs for similar special license plates, OLS would estimate a cost of about $1,500 for a new plate die and costs of $10 to $15 to produce and issue each set of special plates.

      This legislative fiscal estimate has been produced by the Office of Legislative Services due to the failure of the Executive Branch to respond to our request for a fiscal note.

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