Enactment of this legislation could increase revenues to local law enforcement entities by approximately $52 per instance of a vehicle owner not voluntarily remitting a fine, but who eventually does pay. This estimate assumes a fine of $130 per instance, the maximum amount allowed in the bill. This bill could also cost justice courts an unknown amount in court processing costs in instances when an individual disputes the fine.
To the extent that individuals violate provisions of this bill, this could cost certain offenders about $130 per case, however the total amount is unknown.
Enactment of this legislation likely will not change the regulatory burden for Utah residents or businesses.
This bill creates a new program or significantly expands an existing program.
