	Fiscal Note (Office of the Secretary of State)
	SB 1751 (S-AM 4) will cost the Secretary of State an estimated $4.5 million in start up costs during fiscal year 2008 and an estimated $10-$12 million annually after initial operations costs are incurred. Assuming the new driver's certificate fee is set at the minimum level of $50, the fee would generate an estimated $22 million during fiscal year 2009 and $3.3 million annually thereafter.
