Attached: FL HB 5007A Summary Analysis of Bill
A. EFFECT OF PROPOSED CHANGES: Motorcycle License Taxes; Florida Motorcycle Safety Education Program
Current Situation Currently, s. 320.08(1)(c), F.S., provides that for each motorcycle registered in Florida, a $2.50 motorcycle safety education fee is collected and deposited into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund. These funds are used exclusively to fund motorcycle driver improvement programs implemented pursuant to s. 322.025, F.S., or the Florida Motorcycle Safety Education Program. This program was established in 1989 to provide motorcycle safety courses in Florida.
Proposed Changes The bill amends s. 320.08, F.S., and 322.025, F.S., to allow the $2.50 education fee to fund motorcycle driver improvement program and the general operations of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The bill also amends s. 322.0255, F.S., to eliminate certain potential reimbursements from the Department to motorcycle course providers.

The following are grants awarded to the department from DOT and the US Department of Justice. If the FHP was abolished and assuming the same federal monies are available, these amounts would still come into the state; however, they would be awarded to other agencies or entities. Other agencies would have to establish policies and procedures meeting federal requirements to ensure grant funding continues. Policy development by various local agencies could result in a mixture of policies that conflict or fail to meet federal requirements.
