  Authorizing the
  Commissioner of Transportation to raise the speed limit on the interstate
  system or other divided controlled-access highway may decrease General Fund
  revenue generated by fines.  The actual
  loss of revenue over time will depend on the location or locations where the
  limit is raised, enforcement policies of the State Police and how drivers
  choose to adjust to the new speed limit. | 
 
 
   | 
  Additional costs,
  if any,  to the Department of
  Transportation associated with new speed limit signs can be absorbed with
  existing staff and within existing budgeted resources. |
