EFFECT: Expands the uses to which the state patrol's share of the $125 fee may be put to include grants and activities related to DUI reduction.
Until July 1, 1997, changes the split of the 60% of the $125 fee that goes to the death investigations account for the state toxicology lab and to the state patrol highway account for DUI reduction programs. Instead of 15% (of the 60%) going to the death investigations account, and 85% (of the 60%) going to the highway account, the 60% from the $125 will be split 50%-50% between the two accounts.
The increase in the fee for a copy of a birth or death certificate is removed.
