Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 12658
This legislation increases the number of electors required to
dissolve a highway district from twenty-five (25) persons to
twenty percent(20%) of those qualified electors who voted in the
last election held for highway district commissioners.

This legislation is necessary to avoid allowing just a relative
few individuals from causing significant disruption and costs to
highway districts.
                          FISCAL IMPACT

This law will have no direct fiscal effect on state or local
governments.  However, had it been in effect a year ago the cost
to Ada County and the Ada County Highway District would have been
reduced.
