Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 13963


The purpose of this legislation is to make the terms of
dissolution of a single countywide highway district consistent
with the requirements to establish the district.

Present law requires 10% or more of the qualified electors in the
proposed district to petition the county commissioners for the
establishment of a single countywide highway district.  This
legislation would provide for 10% or more of the qualified
electors in each of the commissioner's subdistricts to petition
the county commissioners for dissolution of the single countywide
highway district, and provides for the election to be held at the
next general election following the hearing.

Other terms and conditions of dissolution of the single
countywide highway remain unchanged.

                          FISCAL IMPACT

This law will have no direct fiscal impact on state or local
governments.
