Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment replaces Part I, removing the reference to sales tax on automobile parts, including sales and use tax collected by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in the calculation of revenues transferred and reducing the transfer percentage from 50% to 40%.  The incremental impact on General Fund revenue is a decrease (i.e. more GF revenue transferred) of $18,732,310 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $13,219,879 in fiscal year 2024-25 with a corresponding increase in Highway Fund revenue. The amendment also replaces the Part I, General Fund appropriation for the Bureau of Revenue Services in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services. It also adds Highway Fund allocations in each year of the biennium to the Department of Transportation for capital projects.
Please note the "PART OFPR" lines in this fiscal note are added to calculate the incremental impact of this floor amendment.
