Fiscal effect: The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on the state or on the liabilities or revenues of any county, city, village, town, school district, vocational, technical and adult education district, sewerage district, or federally-recognized tribes or bands. Existing s. Trans 114.07 permits law enforcement agencies to exhaust the existing stock of forms before buying new forms. This mitigates any fiscal impact on local governments. Anticipated costs incurred by private sector: The Department anticipates there will be no fiscal impact on private sector revenues or liabilities.
