Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                        STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 11427

     The purpose of this proposal is to amend section 49-2426(2) to 
exempt the Department of Juvenile Corrections from having department 
identifying decals on the Department's cars. Employees have 
experienced negative behaviors from other drivers as well as 
pedestrians along with damage to cars, which we believe is directly 
linked to the car decal.

                         FISCAL IMPACT

The only impact to the general fund would be reprinting the statute--a
normal expenditure. Car decals will be removed by Department employees.
