Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                            RS 12935C1

dissolve a highway district from twenty-five (25) persons to the
greater of twenty-five (25) qualified electors of the district ortwenty percent(20%) of those qualified electors who voted in the

larger highway districts.

This law will have no direct fiscal effect on state or local
