SUMMARY

Statutes require that counties retain 60.0 percent of each driver improvement surcharge imposed and transfer 40.0 percent to the State. Five state agencies spent $4.5 million in surcharge funds in FY 2010-11 to support local efforts to address alcohol and drug abuse. To help meet statutorily required budget reductions, agencies lapsed surcharge funds to the General Fund in FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11.
