This bill
increases ATV registration fees for residents from $45 to $70, nonresident
7-day registration fees from $75 to $100 and nonresident annual registration
fees from $90 to $115 starting May 1, 2022.
The additional $25 from each registration will be deposited in the ATV
Recreational Management Fund (ARMF) within the Department of Agriculture,
Conservation and Forestry (ACF). Based
on an estimated 78,000 ATV registrations, it is anticipated that the fee
increases will generate an additional $1,791,817 in Other Special Revenue
Funds revenue to the ARMF beginning in fiscal year 2022-23. This bill also includes an accompanying
allocation to ACF for the expenditure of the additional revenue. |
|
The bill also
creates an antique ATV registration fee for an ATV more than 25 years
old. The Department of Inland
Fisheries and Wildlife estimates that approximately 3,000 current
registrations might be switched to the new antique ATV registration. All of the revenue from antique
registrations will be credited to the General Fund. The net impact of 3,000 current
registrations, which are split between Other Special Revenue Funds revenue
and General Fund revenue, switching to an antique registration would be an
increase of $36,000 in General Fund revenue. |
