  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation likely will not materially impact state revenue.
  • State expenditures: Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 Enactment of this legislation could decrease the Department of Transportation's expenditures by $20,000 ongoing from the Transportation Investment Fund beginning in 2027 to shift billboard relocation permit oversight.
