Legislative Audit Bureau

To the Honorable, the Assembly:
We have completed our review of driver improvement surcharge funding, as requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. When a court imposes a fine or forfeiture on an individual for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, statutes require that it also impose a $365 driver improvement surcharge.
The county in which a surcharge is imposed retains 60.0 percent of the surcharge to help fund an intoxicated driver program that provides alcohol and drug abuse services to individuals convicted of offenses related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The county is statutorily required to transfer 40.0 percent of each imposed surcharge to the State.
Surcharge funds transferred to the State are distributed to five state agencies, which in fiscal year (FY) 2010-11 spent a total of $4.5 million in surcharge funds on a variety of activities that supported local efforts to address alcohol and drug abuse issues. For example, surcharge funds were used to purchase breath alcohol testing instruments for local law enforcement agencies and provide free training on how to use them. In addition, the Department of Health Services awarded $744,300 to 29 counties in calendar year 2011 as supplemental grants to help fund intoxicated driver programs. The other 43 counties did not request supplemental grants.
To help meet statutorily required budget reductions, we found that state agencies chose to lapse $755,000 in surcharge funds to the General Fund in FY 2009-10 and $120,000 in FY 2010-11.
We appreciate the cooperation extended to us by the five state agencies that spent surcharge funds.
Respectfully submitted,
