Committee discusses delaying reduced license-fee change for SSI/SSDI recipients to avoid $309,000 hit

Conference members on May 29 reviewed section 8 of S.123, which concerns reduced license fees for individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). The senate had proposed reduced license fees for SSI/SSDI recipients; the house version removed those reduced fees. Members discussed a proposal to move the effective date for any reduction out one year to avoid an estimated $309,000 fiscal impact to transportation funds.
