ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Transportation assume no fiscal impact.
The Jasper County Commission, in response to identical legislation, (fiscal note # 3143-01) assumed this proposal could result in cost savings for road districts as procedures to dis-infranchise road districts are easier to accomplish. Savings are minor for election costs. The Commission assumes if the road district just quits, the assets of that road district could not be transferred to the County Common District. The equipment and funds from the disbanded road district could result in a savings of several thousand of dollars. Officials stated that Jasper County currently has three road districts which are considering this.
Oversight will show fiscal impact to Jasper County road districts as $0 or Unknown savings. Oversight assumes any savings would be minimal.
