The government doesn't need to penalize people for not wearing a seatbelt because they're already penalized enough when they get into an accident?

So what you are saying is that not strapping your kids in and them then getting hurt can be compensated for by you getting hurt. not to mention the expense to the public purse caused by people being hurt and sometimes converted int cripples.

What are Government Enterprise Funds?

Enterprise Funds

GAAP requires state and local governments to use the enterprise fund type to account for "business-type activities" - activities similar to those found in the private sector. Business type activities include services primarily funded through user charges.

NCGAS 1 (National Council on Governmental Accounting Statement No 1)defines the purpose of enterprise funds as:

"…to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises -where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through users charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes."

State and local governments should use an enterprise fund to account for its activities when the criteria of either (a) or (b) are met. Moreover, it is important to note that the total cost of the activity does not have to be paid for by the user charges. The government (or other governmental entity) may subsidize a significant portion of the costs of the enterprise fund.
