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. Contact Name: Rep.
