transportation
Other transportation
Under current law, DOT collects a supplemental vehicle title fee of $7.50 in connection with applications for certificates of title for new vehicles and for vehicles the ownership of which has been transferred. The Department of Commerce (Commerce) also collects a supplemental manufactured home title fee of $7.50 in connection with applications for certificates of title for new manufactured homes and for manufactured homes the ownership of which has been transferred. These two supplemental title fees are deposited into the transportation fund. By October 1 of each year, the secretary of transportation must certify to the secretary of administration the amount of these two supplemental title fees collected during the previous fiscal year and that amount, minus $555,000, is transferred from the general fund to the environmental fund on October 1 of each year.
Under this bill, this transfer mechanism is eliminated and these two supplemental title fees are deposited directly into the environmental fund for nonpoint source water pollution abatement. The bill includes provisions ensuring that the impact of this change will occur as of July 1, 2005.
Veterans and military affairs
This bill changes the funding source for several military affairs appropriations regarding emergency management from the general fund to the transportation fund.
