Staff Analysis of the Legislation

HB 871 extends the sunset on additional penalties that go to driver education purposes from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2018. ACCG supports the concept of fees for services; however, not one cent of the money raised here (about $10 million annually) has gone for drivers' education recent years. It has instead been redirected, thus becoming a tax, to balance the state's general fund. HB 811, having passed but which has been watered down by the Senate Rules Committee, seeks to address this redirection practice. |
