Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 275, dated January 20, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation likely will not materially impact state revenue.
  • State expenditures: Enactment of this legislation could cost the Department of Transportation $630,000 one-time in FY 2027 from the Transportation Fund in capital costs for equipment, signs, and construction at the ten pilot intersection sites, and $105,000 one-time in FY 2027 from the Transportation Fund for labor.
  • Local government: 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.
  • Individuals and businesses: 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.
