| Eliminating discretionary function immunity for vehicle accidents could result in additional costs estimated to be as high as $200,000 annually to the Risk Management Division of the Department of Administrative and Financial Services. As claims occur, the Risk Management Division will review rates charged to state agencies to determine if they need to be adjusted for the effects of this bill. Should future rate increases be needed, state agencies will require additional General Fund, Highway Fund and Other Special Revenue Funds resources to pay the premiums. | |||||||||
