BILL NUMBER:S4964

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to increasing the retention percentage collected for certain
motor vehicle service fees

PURPOSE:

To increase the retention percentage for certain motor vehicle service
fees.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the vehicle and traffic law to increase the
percentages of fees collected for any motor vehicle service, pursuant
to statute, retained by the county clerk.

Section 2 provides the effective date.

EXISTING LAW:

Pursuant to § 205(1) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, the clerk of each
county, except the counties of Rockland, Albany, Westchester, Suffolk,
Nassau, Onondaga, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond and New York, shall
act as the agent of the commissioner in the registration of motor
vehicles, motorcycles, and when directed by the commissioner

snowmobiles, vessels and all terrain vehicles, and in the issuance of
certificates thereof and number plates therefor, in receiving
documents relating to certificates of title, and unless and until the
commissioner shall otherwise direct in any county, in the issuance of
non-driver identification cards and drivers' licenses upon the
certification of inspectors, and motor vehicle enforcement
transactions. Each such agent shall remit to the commissioner all fees
collected by him for registrations, licenses, identification cards and
transfers or relating to certificates of title, except as hereinafter
provided, together with a complete record of such registrations,
identification cards and licenses issued and transfers made, in
accordance with the procedure prescribed by the commissioner, and with
all documents relating to certificates of title received and such
record thereof as the commissioner prescribes.

Pursuant to § 205(3) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law such county clerks
shall retain 12.7% of the fees collected for any motor vehicle related
service described in subdivision one of this section. The retention
percentage shall be 30% of the $30 fee established for non-driver
identification cards.

JUSTIFICATION:

Fifty-one of the sixty-two counties in New York State are mandated by
the state to operate a local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
Office. This local DMV operation is one of the many examples of shared
services that counties provide for the state.  Local DMV offices
process many no fee transactions on behalf of the State and provide
customer services. However, under the current law, the State of New
York takes 87.3% of all fees collected from the work performed
entirely by the county operated DMV.


In an effort to alleviate that inequity, this legislation increases
the percentages of revenue retained by the county clerk from fees
generated by the administration of motor vehicle services. Increasing
the county DMV revenue sharing rate will not result in any increased
cost or fees to local residents or taxpayers and will provide counties
with the needed revenue to provide these necessary local government
services. It is patently unfair to require a county DMV to provide all
services related to motor vehicles, including overhead and staffing,
in order to fulfill state mandated operations and not share equitably
in the generated revenue.

This bill requires that 25% of the revenue generated from the fees
collected for any motor vehicle related service shall be retained by
the county clerk. Currently county clerks retain just 12.7% of such
fees. Additionally, this bill requires county clerks retain 60% of the
$30 fee established for non-driver identification cards. This is an
increase from the current 30% retention percentage. There is a clear
inequity present when a county DMV provides all of the services to
fulfill the DMV needs for state residents, yet the state takes 87.3%
of the revenue generated from providing these services. This bill
balances that inequity and as such its enactment is imperative.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Minimal.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect on the 1st of January after it shall have
become a law.

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation  to  increasing
  the  retention  percentage collected for certain motor vehicle service
  fees

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivisions  3 and 3-a of section 205 of the vehicle and
traffic law, subdivision 3 as amended by section 3 of part G of  chapter
59 of the laws of 2008 and subdivision 3-a as added by section 1 of part
F of chapter 58 of the laws of 2012, are amended to read as follows:
  3.  Each  such  county  clerk shall retain from fees collected for any
motor vehicle related service  described  in  subdivision  one  of  this
section  processed  by such county clerk an amount based on a percentage
of gross receipts collected. For purposes  of  this  section,  the  term
"gross  receipts"  shall include all fines, fees and penalties collected
pursuant to this chapter by a  county  clerk  acting  as  agent  of  the
commissioner,  but shall not include any state or local sales or compen-
sating use taxes imposed under or pursuant to the authority of  articles
twenty-eight  and twenty-nine of the tax law and collected by such clerk
on behalf of the commissioner of taxation  and  finance.  The  retention
percentage  shall  be  [12.7]  TWENTY-FIVE percent and shall take effect
April  first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-nine;  provided,  however,  the
retention  percentage  shall  be  [thirty]  SIXTY  percent of the thirty
dollar fee established in paragraph (e) of subdivision  two  of  section
four  hundred  ninety-one  and  paragraph  f-one  of  subdivision two of
section five hundred three of this chapter.
  3-a. In addition to the fees retained pursuant to subdivision three of
this section, each county clerk acting as the agent of the  commissioner
pursuant  to  subdivision  one of this section shall retain [four] EIGHT
percent of "enhanced internet and electronic partner revenue"  collected

by  the  commissioner.  For  the purposes of this subdivision, "enhanced
internet and electronic partner revenue" shall mean the amount of  gross
receipts  attributable  to all transactions conducted on the internet by
residents of such county and by designated partners of the department on
behalf  of such residents for the current calendar year that exceeds the
amount of such revenue collected by  the  commissioner  during  calendar
year  two thousand eleven. The commissioner shall certify the amounts to
be  retained  by  each  county  clerk  pursuant  to  this   subdivision.
[Provided,  however,  that  if  the aggregate amount of fees retained by
county clerks pursuant to this subdivision in calendar years  two  thou-
sand  twelve  and  two  thousand  thirteen combined exceeds eighty-eight
million five hundred thousand dollars, then the percentage of fees to be
retained thereafter shall be reduced to a percentage that, if applied to
the fees collected during calendar years two  thousand  twelve  and  two
thousand   thirteen  combined,  would  have  resulted  in  an  aggregate
retention of eighty-eight million five hundred thousand dollars  or  2.5
percent  of  enhanced internet and electronic partner revenue, whichever
is higher. If the aggregate amount of fees  retained  by  county  clerks
pursuant  to  this subdivision in calendar years two thousand twelve and
two thousand thirteen combined is less than  eighty-eight  million  five
hundred  thousand  dollars,  then  the percentage of fees to be retained
thereafter shall be increased to a percentage that, if  applied  to  the
fees  collected  during calendar years two thousand twelve and two thou-
sand thirteen combined, would have resulted in an aggregate retention of
eighty-eight million five hundred thousand dollars, or  six  percent  of
enhanced  internet and electronic partner revenue, whichever is less. On
and after April first, two thousand sixteen,  the  percent  of  enhanced
internet  and electronic partner revenue to be retained by county clerks
shall be the average of the  annual  percentages  that  were  in  effect
between  April  first,  two  thousand twelve and March thirty-first, two
thousand sixteen.]
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next  succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become a law.

S. 4964--B                          2

subdivision  two  of section four hundred ninety-one and paragraph f-one
of subdivision two of section five hundred three of this chapter.
  3-a. In addition to the fees retained pursuant to subdivision three of
this  section, each county clerk acting as the agent of the commissioner
pursuant to subdivision one of this section shall  retain  [four]  EIGHT
percent  of "enhanced internet and electronic partner revenue" collected
by the commissioner. For the purposes  of  this  subdivision,  "enhanced
internet  and electronic partner revenue" shall mean the amount of gross
receipts attributable to all transactions conducted on the  internet  by
residents of such county and by designated partners of the department on
behalf  of such residents for the current calendar year that exceeds the
amount of such revenue collected by  the  commissioner  during  calendar
year  two thousand eleven. The commissioner shall certify the amounts to
be  retained  by  each  county  clerk  pursuant  to  this   subdivision.
[Provided,  however,  that  if  the aggregate amount of fees retained by
county clerks pursuant to this subdivision in calendar years  two  thou-
sand  twelve  and  two  thousand  thirteen combined exceeds eighty-eight
million five hundred thousand dollars, then the percentage of fees to be
retained thereafter shall be reduced to a percentage that, if applied to
the fees collected during calendar years two  thousand  twelve  and  two
thousand   thirteen  combined,  would  have  resulted  in  an  aggregate
retention of eighty-eight million five hundred thousand dollars  or  2.5
percent  of  enhanced internet and electronic partner revenue, whichever
is higher. If the aggregate amount of fees  retained  by  county  clerks
pursuant  to  this subdivision in calendar years two thousand twelve and
two thousand thirteen combined is less than  eighty-eight  million  five
hundred  thousand  dollars,  then  the percentage of fees to be retained
thereafter shall be increased to a percentage that, if  applied  to  the
fees  collected  during calendar years two thousand twelve and two thou-
sand thirteen combined, would have resulted in an aggregate retention of
eighty-eight million five hundred thousand dollars, or  six  percent  of
enhanced  internet and electronic partner revenue, whichever is less. On
and after April first, two thousand sixteen,  the  percent  of  enhanced
internet  and electronic partner revenue to be retained by county clerks
shall be the average of the  annual  percentages  that  were  in  effect
between  April  first,  two  thousand twelve and March thirty-first, two
thousand sixteen.]
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next  succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
