Revenue Department outlines electronic lien system plan and flags tire‑tax allocation shortfall
Summary
Commissioner David Gerigano said the Department of Revenue requests $2.6 million to implement an electronic lien system required by Public Chapter 745 (2024), funded by a $2 per‑lien pass‑through fee; he also said the tire‑sales allocation to the highway fund is running at about $2 million per month, well below the initial $80 million estimate and the department is pursuing retailer education to improve reporting.
David Gerigano, commissioner of the Department of Revenue, described a $2.6 million budget request tied to the state’s electronic lien system implementation required under Public Chapter 745 (2024). "In order to fund the infrastructure to make that happen, the department will be collecting a $2 per lien fee from the service providers," Gerigano said, explaining the fee will be a pass‑through to pay the vendor.
Gerigano also discussed the tire‑sales allocation intended to support highway funding: while sales tax on tires is collected, retailers often do not populate the informational line item the department needs to allocate funds, so current allocations to the highway fund run about $2 million per month, below the anticipated totals. The department plans additional outreach and education to improve compliance and reporting.
