         The Honorable Rick Wilborn, Chairperson
         Senate Committee on Judiciary
         Statehouse, Room 541-E
         Topeka, Kansas 66612
         Dear Senator Wilborn:
                   SUBJECT:       Fiscal Note for SB 101 by Senate Committee on Judiciary
                 In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 101 is
         respectfully submitted to your committee.
                 Under current law, if a person fails an alcohol test or has an alcohol or drug-related
         conviction on the first occurrence, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to suspend the
         person’s driving privileges for 30 days. At the end of the suspension, the person’s driving
         privileges may be restricted. SB 101 would allow the Division, at the end of the suspension, to
         either restrict the person’s driving privileges or continue the suspension as provided by KSA 8-
         1015. The bill would also allow the Division to continue the driving suspension for 180 days and
         reinstate the person’s driving privileges upon completion of the suspension, unless another action
         by a court has occurred.
                 The Department of Revenue indicates that it would require a total of $8,400 from the State
         General Fund in FY 2020 to implement the bill and to modify the driver’s license system. The
         required programming for this bill by itself would be performed by existing staff of the Department
         of Revenue. In addition, if the combined effect of implementing this bill and other enacted
         legislation exceeds the Department’s programming resources, or if the time for implementing the
         changes is too short, additional expenditures for outside contract programmer services beyond the
         Department’s current budget may be required. Any fiscal effect associated with SB 101 is not
         reflected in The FY 2020 Governor’s Budget Report.

                                                              Sincerely,

                                                              Larry L. Campbell
                                                              Director of the Budget
         cc: Lynn Robinson, Department of Revenue
