Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on 1st Sub. H.B. 173 (Buff), dated January 22, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: License Plate Restricted Account (GFR) Enactment of this legislation could increase fee revenue to the License Plate Restricted Account by $60,000 ongoing beginning in FY 2027 from expectant mothers paying $15 for an accessible parking placard.
  • State expenditures: License Plate Restricted Account (GFR) Enactment of this legislation could cost the Tax Commission $19,400 ongoing from the General Fund in FY 2026 for system updates as well as $20,000 ongoing from the License Plate Restricted Account beginning in FY 2027 for placard expenses.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation could cost expectant mothers $15 for a placard to park in accessible parking spaces. In aggregate, an estimated 4,000 mothers annually could apply for these placards, costing $60,000 ongoing beginning in FY 2027.
